Great provision

Last week David went to look at some possible apartments with our soon-to-be co-workers the Kochs. Later in the week he went with Kaori (who is also in the team at Hiragishi with How Chuang) to look at possible apartments for them as they have to move out of their present place next month. We found a great place for each of them quite quickly. However, that is only the beginning of the story as often we then hit the problem of landlords here not being willing to let a place to a foreigner or because the contract is taken in the name of OMF which has religious registration. Yet both proceeded smoothly and this afternoon within an hour calls were received from both agents to say that everything had gone through. We see both of these places not just as somewhere for the Chuas and Kochs to live but places that they can use for their ministry over the coming months and years in Hiragishi. God has provided great places and great co-workers. We look to him to be at work in this area and draw many to the spring where living water can be found - in Japanese izumi which forms part of the name of our church. Looking forward to many great things happening here!
