CPC Missions Update

May 2025 | 3

Christ Presbyterian Church Family and Friends,

We hope you will enjoy and be blessed by reading the latest news from the missionaries we support at Christ Presbyterian Church.

As a reminder, we list a missionary to pray for each week in the Sunday worship bulletin. Hopefully, this will help you put a face with a name and give you more information on how to direct your prayers.

***Alan Cochet is coming to Christ Pres on Sunday, June 1st to give us a missions update at 9:30 am in the sanctuary and will also be preaching during worship.

Jeff & Katie Saunders

RUF/MTW Tokyo, Japan

Jeff and Katie work with the pastors and team of missionaries at Grace City Church and Grace Harbor Church, to continue the church planting movement in Tokyo, Japan. Jeff has also begun a campus ministry at a local university with RUF called Kairos.

Jeff meets with students regularly to talk about the Bible and share the gospel. Katie meets with moms in the area and hosts a few women in their home for a Mom's Bible study. Many of the women are not believers, so they go through the basics of Christianity.

The Professors

There is a huge demand at universities around the world for professors to help students master English. The Professors work in nations that are highly restricted politically and highly resistant to the gospel.

What do lessons with titles like FISHBAIT, iWORLD, and Shakespeare plays have to do with missions? Using compelling content and creative teaching methods, these lessons open doors for teachers to build relationships and plant seeds as they teach students in Academic classes.
