Dear Last Chance Chapel, friends and family

    Thank you for all your prayers and support. Sorry for posting so late. I have been busy. Things are going good here. I just recently started a new
English teaching job at a high school. My dad came over to visit me here in Japan.  Also got back together with a friend from a long time ago. As far
as my students accepting the gospel, it is still going slow. They still need to be in our prayers. I will keep perservering. God bless... :)

P.S I spend my days studying Japanese and also studying grammar since now I'm teaching at a high school. I really hope to be a good influence there at the school. My private classes are going well, but teaching the younger kids can be stressful at times. The way discipline is handled here is totally different. For the most part, I feel like I am just babysitting the kids. I go to a gym nearby the Tenri church and train really hard. I have made a lot of friends there. Someday, I hope they would come to church. For now I just hope that I am a good Christian influence on them. I am also taking part in Sunday school for the kids on Sunday. I was asked to teach recently. I may be asked to teach more times. Please pray for my Japanese ability. :)

    Thank you for all your prayers and support. Things are going well here. It did take some time adjusting back to being in Japan. I recently got a cell
phone so now I can keep in contact with my students. Trying to study the language more here and be more communicative with the Japanese
people. Please continue to pray for my students that their hearts will be open to the Word of God. Pray that the Hari church will increase in
members coming to the church and that we will have a big impact on the community there. Thanks and God bless... :)

Dear Last Chance Chapel, friends, and family

    Thank you for all your prayers and support. Things are going well here. Just had my 34th birthday with my family recently. We enjoyed a barbecue outside of my house. Classes are going well but more students in my classes would be nice. Please continue to pray for my students salvation and that God will open up the Japanese hearts to receive His word. Thanks and God bless...

Dear Last Chance Chapel, friends, and family

    Thank you for all your prayers and support. Things have been going well here. Joseph , Whitney and Augustus are here now and I am enjoying my time with them. Got to see my nephew for the first time. :) They are getting settled here and it is comforting to have more missionaries here in Japan. Please continue to pray for the Japanese people and that a revival will start in Japan. God bless... :)



P.S. Prayer requests: For me, that my finances will be blessed and I can gain more students in my classes that I have. Also that I can reach more people for the Lord through my English classes. For wisdom in teaching, as teaching comes with many trials especially teaching kids. Also for my student's salvation. So that they will finally believe in Jesus. For Joseph and his family. For their adjustment in Japan. For their finances. For them to have a great impact in Japan. For the Hari church and LifeSong church finances. We need a new cross for the Hari church. ;)

Dear Last Chance Chapel, friends, and family

    Thank you for all your prayers and support. Things have been going well here. It's getting humid here in Japan and right now we are having heavy rain. Pretty soon my brother will be living in Japan and will be my neighbor. They always say two is better than one. I hope he makes a great impact here in Japan and that God will bless his ministry. :) Please continue to pray for me that I will be able to get more English students and that the ones I already have will open their hearts to the Lord. God bless....
