The day Mark arrived back from Kenya was the 60th anniversary celebration of Japan Baptist Fellowship work in Japan, so piled into the car for a five hour trip north to Tohoku with our mission's Asia director and his wife. They used to be missionaries in Japan, so we had a great time talking about old times as
well as directions for our future. The meetings themselves were inspiring, and a good contingent from Yamagata Deaf church was there, so it was great
to renew our fellowship with them.
