2 Days to Go!

Whelp Frank and I leave in 2 days for Japan. We fly out on Thursday at 2:30pm and will arrive in Japan on Friday the 25th around 6pm.

VBS starts on Monday the 28th so we're only going to have Saturday and Sunday to prepare for the week long program that ends on August 1st.

From the Sounds of it the Takahashi's are extremely busy being that their middle daughter Maki just got married here in the States to a friend who is a missionary for Send International in Japan. On top of that their eldest son Wakagi just announced his engagement and the youngest daughter just announced her engagement, so all their children will have been married in the same year!

So they have been quite busy. Yoshie Takahashi works two jobs as a Professional translator and a Japanese teaching teacher for Send International. Takahashi Sensei as well is extremely busy as Pastor of his congregation and all the other responsibilities of running a church.

By God's grace the trip and team of four has come together nicely. We look forward to what the Lord has in store for us when we arrive.

I would ask if you could pray for the following;

1. For safe travels for Frank and I as we embark on Thursday afternoon.
2. For preparations for VBS and for our homestay situation as it is still coming together.
3. Please pray that Jesus Christ will be glorified in all that we do and that seeds will be planted in the unbelieving hearts of the children and parents who attend our VBS program: "The Faithfulnees of God"
4. Also please pray that we would be lights in a dark country and an encouragement to the Japanese church in Tachikawa.
5. And that we would be a blessing to the Takahashi family.

Thank you again everyone for your support in prayers and monetarily! God bless and continue to check for updates, as we will be updating it daily while we are there.
