Start of the Journey

Hey everybody!

We hope this message finds you well. As we prepare for our work in Japan and continue to invite more people to join our team in prayer and financial support, we cannot express enough how blessed we feel in this season. God has been incredibly good to us, and He has granted us great success so far.

We’re excited to share that we are presently at approximately 40% of our monthly budget raised, and we continue to see growth week by week. This is a testament to God's faithfulness and the generosity of those who have come alongside us. We are deeply grateful for each of you who have been part of this journey.

Behind the Scenes Emily has been working diligently on our ministry’s branding to ensure we’re ready for this new chapter. This includes designing our website, creating prayer cards, and other key materials to represent our mission and engage with supporters like you. We can’t wait to share these resources and keep you connected to our work in Japan.

Prayer Requests We humbly ask that you continue to pray for us, keeping in mind these specific areas:

• Rest and Renewal: That God would keep us rested and refreshed, enabling us to work diligently as more people partner with our ministry.

• Strong Ministry Team: That God would raise up a ministry team that deeply trusts Him and bathes our work, as we stand on the front line, in continuous prayer.

• Health and Safety: For God to provide our family with good health and protection during this preparatory season and beyond.

• Open Hearts in Japan: That the people of Japan would have softened hearts, open to hearing and receiving the gospel when we arrive.

Praise Report We also want to take a moment to celebrate what God has already done:

• We have been blessed by a number of new supporters joining us, each one an answer to prayer and a reminder of His provision.

• Connections within the Japanese community have already begun forming, preparing the groundwork for our ministry's next phase.

How You Can Partner with Us As we continue this journey, there are more opportunities for you to engage:

• Financial Support: If you feel led to support us financially, please reach out, and we can provide more details on how you can contribute.

• Prayer Commitment: We’re looking for prayer warriors who are willing to commit to praying regularly for our mission and team.

Blessings and gratitude,

Malmquist Family
