Dearest Partner in Mission,

Blessed Resurrection greetings to you in the Name of the One who conquered death, hell and the grave…for us…our living and victorious Lord Jesus Christ!

When the angels addressed the women who came to the tomb to anoint the dead body of Jesus, “why are you looking for the living among the dead” (Luke 24:5), that proclamation was the announcement of the glorious Resurrection! Jesus, as the ‘first born again man’ was not only alive, but was wearing a prototype: a new incorruptible eternal deathless glorified physical body, a unique body which had never ever existed before… and this body could eat fish and yet walk through a wall or an unopened door. And amazingly, it’s this same kind of body that anyone who believes and receives Jesus as Lord and Savior shall also put on and wear one glorious day!

This past year just following Christmas, former Buddhist and science teacher Mrs. Wada, (second lady from Mari’s left) was born again, when she accepted Jesus as her Lord through the VIP Bible Study we conduct in our home. She too has become a ‘new creation’ in Christ Jesus… and we are rejoicing. Please pray for her steps to baptism, which I hope to conduct on her behalf very soon.

How grateful we are for your prayers and giving to keep us here in Japan reaching Japanese for our Lord Jesus Christ!

Your Missionaries on the field in Japan,

Neal & Mari Hicks
