Details discussed in this video:

December has been a joyful and encouraging month as we prepared to return to Japan, spent time with supporting churches, and formed new ministry connections. During our travels this month, God connected us with new friends in Tennessee who are actively reaching Japanese people. Many of the Japanese people they reach out to are from the Nagoya area, and we are looking forward to how God will allow us to work together for ongoing outreach to these families.

As we return to Japan on January 5, please pray as we we resettle, help the boys transition back into school, and relocate my mother to our city. We are also beginning the early stages of preparing to relaunch the church in the heart of Nagoya, trusting God for wisdom and steady progress. Thank you for walking with us through prayer and partnership, and we are grateful for your continued faithfulness.

Our Friends in TN working to reach people from Nagoya who are currently residing in the U.S.
