I have been doing a terrible job of keeping this updated. My apologies! I do not promise to do better….
However, we have had a busy summer and have recently met several people who have some small level of spiritual interest. It is definitely a slow up hill battle in Japan. Along with day to day life and ministry we are beginning to prepare for furlough in 2012. It comes at a bad time, but then furlough can’t really come at a good time. 
The kids are great, growing fast and smarter than me. Susan is busily teaching home-school and reaching out to neighbors and friends. I spend as much time as possible reaching out to men in Kumamoto. Life as we know it!
