Greetings from Hawaii!
We hope you all had a wonderful weekend. We left Japan and flew to Hawaii last week. Our goals for this trip are to maintain Yu’s status as a permanent resident, to visit churches to share what God is doing in Japan, to see friends who came to Japan on mission trips, and to recruit prayer and financial partners.
God has already blessed us in many ways. The mission house that our friend’s church has provided for us is perfect (there is a playground that our boys love!) for our family, we already saw several friends that came to Japan last year, we spoke at two churches yesterday and met people who are interested in going to Japan in the future, and several people told us they want to partner with us! God is good!
If you are a new reader of this blog, welcome! We look forward to keeping in touch with you.
Here are some recent photos of our ministries in Japan!

Your prayers and support mean so much to us! Please let us know how we can pray for you!
Mahalo (thank you)!
I pray for you to have a productive and joyful trip! I miss our frequent trips to visit the Hawaiian churches since Dennis’ brother retired from the pastorate there. I’m so excited the Hawaiian churches are partnering with you and that you can accomplish your visa requirements there! God is good! Love you all!
Glad to hear you are able to accomplish so many things on the trip and how blessed you are by the partnering of these churches in Hawaii. Your boys are growing up as I see them in these pictures. I am glad they are able to have a fun place to holiday and play. Thank you for the pictures of how you are sharing Gods love they remind me of how big He is and how wide and deep His love is for us all. Love you and pray this is a trip that refreshes you. It is hard to believe Luke has been in preschool a whole year!
Had not seen these! Again, it is so good to know you are having experiences like these and that God is using you in this work!
Look forward to getting news of you regularly now!
