Details discussed in this video:
As we prepare to return to Japan in seven weeks, we have seen God’s care in both family transitions and ministry opportunities. After an unexpected apartment flood, the Lord provided a smooth move and a peaceful place to land, and we have been grateful for meaningful time with family before heading back. Our boys are beginning to feel the pull toward home in Japan, and we have sensed the familiar in-between season that comes with living between two cultures.
We have been encouraged by increased conversations with people exploring missions in Japan and by reconnecting with friends and church members in Nagoya who are anticipating our return. While we work through the logistics of relocating the church and raising needed support, we continue to trust the Lord’s provision. Thank you for praying with us as we step into a full season of preparation and hopeful expectation!
