Dear Last Chance Chapel, friends, and family

    Thank you for all your prayers and support. Well, it looks like I will be staying in Japan. I found a car to buy. Thank you to all who have pledged finances towards this and to all who have prayed. :) I am in the process of looking for some more work in Japan so life will be not much of a struggle to get by. But I am sure since God has provided this car for me, He will surely provide work for me too. Classes are going well, but the life of an English teacher is a hard one as well as the life of a missionary in this country. Teaching kids who have no interest in English and are misbehaved gets quite frustrating at times. Teaching the Gospel to a nation that has so many idols and beliefs, makes it hard for anyone to accept the Lord into their hearts. It really takes time and patience to work with these people and most important God's power to change their hearts. 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. Bethany came back to visit me before she goes to Russia. Having a good time with her. I am still witnessing to my students though they still haven't accepted Christ in their hearts. Guess some things just take a lot of time. This Christmas I am teaching about the Christmas season and playing Christmas games with the kids. Seems a lot of them don't know the meaning of the season.  Missing my family over this Christmas and pondering about this year. I'm not sure whether to do another year here in Japan because of financial reasons and I need a car next year. I'm sure whatever the case, God will guide me in my decisions. God bless and Merry Christmas... :)

Dear Last Chance Chapel, friends, and family

    Thank you for all your prayers and support. Things are going well here in Japan. It is getting cold though. I will need to search for firewood for the stove soon. Just had a harvest party instead of Halloween for my kid students. They seemed to enjoy it although not all of them dressed up. Guess the older kids were to embarrassed. :/ Still need a car for next year, so I appreciate your prayers going out for that. Thank you and God bless... :)
