“Oh yes lord, I am willing to do that and to go wherever You lead me, even back here to the Philippines or to the land of Japan.”

Jesse Miller, Founder of Cadence International and Survivor of the Bataan Death March
from his book a Prisoner of Hope!

First and foremost we are praying that God will be glorified by this ministry and that those who give would be greatly blessed by their willingness to invest in Kingdom building. We are absolutely convinced that God can raise up a partnership team whose sacrificial giving will allow us to minister full time here in Misawa. In and through the giving of His saints God is pleased to abundantly bless the givers and to accomplish a mighty work; we thank God for all He is doing through you.

Second, we are praying that God would provide a new Cadence owned facility here in Misawa. The need is so great and our current house is so expensive and small. We are trusting that the Lord would provide a place were His name can be lifted up by dozens in praise and that a community of worship and service would have a place to grow unhindered. Although our current space is limited we continue to do what we can, but we can see that so much more is possible! Accomplishing this objective will have the largest single impact on freeing up resources to accomplish all the other priorities.

Third, we are praying that God would give is the opportunity to translate Jesse Miller's book "Prisoner of Hope" and his brochure "Nine Must Die" into Japanese. We have identified a translator and illustrator for this project, but will not proceed until the necessary funds for this project are in place.

Finally, we are praying that God will send additional laborers to join us here in the harvest.

Thank you, and God Bless all of you....
