Dear Last Chance Chapel, friends, and family

    Thank you for all your prayers and support. Things are going well here in Japan. I bought a ticket to return home for the Thanksgiving holidays. :)  So I will return to the US for about three weeks. We recently celebrated my birthday at a castle and we also had a great ministry outreach to the neighborhood kids near the church last Sunday. A good group came out and they had fun. And then we had a good time at an English service at the church. God bless...

Dear Last Chance Chapel, friends, and family

    Thank you for all your prayers and support. Everything is going well here in Japan. Could always have more students, because it means more ministry and more people are hearing the gospel. But I am grateful for the ones that I have. Just praying that God will open up their hearts to the Gospel message. Thank you for all your prayers for the Japanese people and my ministry. God bless...

Dear Last Chance Chapel, friends, and family

    Thank you for all your prayers and support. Things are going well here in Japan. Our church recently had a youth camp where we enjoyed games, barbecue, and did a Bible skit teaching about the value of prayer and being thankful. Several of my English students came as well to the camp. Pretty soon Life Song church will have their youth camp as well. Please keep the event in your prayers. Thank you and God bless...

Dear Last Chance Chapel, friends, and family

    Thank you for all your prayers and support.Things are going well here in Japan. Preparing for my sister to come back. The brother in the church that I go to recently has been getting better. Thank you for your prayers for him. Pray that a miracle will take place and the Lord will heal him completely of his cancer. I just recently passed a TEFL course to teach English. Now hopefully I can reach more students. Classes are doing good and soon I will be using the Bible flannel graph set to teach my classes. God bless...

  Dear Last Chance Chapel, friends, and family

Thank you for all your prayers and support. Things are going good in Japan. Getting ready for my sister to come back to Japan. The churches are doing good. We could always need more people to come though. Waiting for more of my students to accept the invite and come to church. We recently had a pizza party and watched a movie at the Lifesong church this last Sunday. Everyone had a good time. It was to celebrate the Lifesong members meeting for a long time. Still need prayer for the brother in our church that has cancer and also one of my students who has cancer too. Also for my other students who do not know the Lord yet. Thank you and God bless...

     Thank you for all your prayers and support. Everything is going well here in Japan. We have been having nice weather and I have been staying real busy. English classes are going good, but they are always a challenge. I'm still working on a translation for the Bible flannel graph stories, but in the meantime I teach the Bible stories off the internet for the kids and I teach Firm Foundations for the adults. Recently my students had fun doing a pirate lesson in English class. It was to teach them the "ure" sound in phonics.

   We have a brother in the church that recently has gotten cancer and also one of my  adult students who isn't saved yet also is in the hospital because of cancer. They need our prayers. The churches are doing great. Just need more people to open their hearts to Jesus. God bless...

  Dear Last Chance Chapel, friends, and family, thank you for all your prayers and support. I just recently received my Bible flannel graph set. It really looks nice. I just need now to find an interpretor that can translate the English into Japanese. There are 175 lessons in all covering from the beginning to the end of the Bible. We been having nice weather recently in Japan. Classes are going well. The churches seem to be doing good too. I recently went with a pastor and his family to the 100 year anniversary of Lenard Coote in Ikoma, Japan. It was very comforting to see so many Christians there and to know that there are people serving God in Japan. God bless...

    Dear Last Chance Chapel, friends, and family, thank you for all your prayers and support. I have some good news. One of my students got saved a couple of weeks ago. Recently we had a takoyaki (octopus) party at Lifesong church. It was a good time and a lot of youth came. I also bought a Bible flannel graph program recently. Please pray that the teaching of this program will go well and that I will be able to translate the stories into Japanese. I want to do a in-depth study of the Bible for the kids using the flannel graph program. Also continue to pray for more of my students to open up their hearts to Jesus. God bless...

   Dear Last Chance Chapel, friends, and family, thank you for all your prayers and support. Spring is here in Japan and the Sakura trees are blooming. My classes are going well and I took over most of my sister's classes. Couple weeks ago, I have one English student that did a performance in front of
300 people. She shared how she used to be a Buddist priest, but now she is a Christian. And she shared the differences between the two religions. After that, she played Amazing Grace on the koto instrument with a piano player. Lives are being touched by the Gospel here. Also we had a good Easter service this last Sunday and had a Easter egg hunt for the kids. It was their first experience to do something like this. God bless...
