Pray for missionaries on the field

The Lipscomb family in Tokyo, Japan

• Pray for their spiritual health, marriage, and endurance, that they would remain rooted in Christ as they serve.
• Pray for continued growth in Japanese language ability and cultural understanding, that they would communicate the gospel clearly, humbly, and relationally.
