By God's grace, we have been appointed to be WorldVenture missionaries to Japan. This was a very significant step in the process of what we believe is God's leading to eventual cross-cultural ministry in Japan. We are humbled and awed by the Lord's goodness and mercy in sustaining us by His sovereign grace over these past three and a half years since were last here in Littleton. We also feel very much indebted to and thank God for all of you who have supported us through your encouragement and prayers over this time. In a sense, this only the beginning of a new phase, so we would appreciate your continued prayers for us as we go through orientation and training here at WorldVenture's headquarters and then embark on the support discovery process. We look forward to keeping you posted on how the Lord works in our lives in the coming months.
