A Real Trooper!

I got Pastor Tom Hallman "Landboarding" here in Okinawa and he kind of fractured his wrist. It was on the first day of his missions trip with us here in Okinawa. He actually tore ligaments in his wrist. Again, he is a good trooper, he hardly complained the whole trip. Now he is in a cast. Stand Up Landboarding did not conquer Tom, he conquered it. God bless you my bro, we had a blast in Asia.

Yippee! Time to go back to Okinawa. We miss our family back in Japan. God has great things in store for us all. To God be the Glory!

Heightened Security at Incheon Airport

Because of the bombings at the Boston Marathon, security has been heightened. This is the longest line that I have ever been in here in Incheon. Usually you go right through. Terrible times we do live in. Jesus come back soon.

Saying Goodbye to the Virginia Group

Blessed time indeed! We are going to miss them. Okinawa, Tokyo and Korea. Now that was a missions trip! We were blessed that they were able to spend time in Okinawa and see the campus in both places. They will be able to pray for us better now seeing the ministry.

Bus ride to Incheon

Well, it is time to leave for the airport. The Virginia team will be leaving today but Joanna and I leave Tuesday morning. It has been a blessed trip indeed. To God be ALL the Glory!

A great crowd gathered at CCFuchu in Tokyo as Pastor Tom Hallman taught the Word! A blessed time indeed. God is doing a good work in Fuchu and the Bible Colleges are having fun being a part. "Lord, bless Your work in Japan"! God bless you all!

It Made it!

We transferred the coffee grinder from Okinawa to CCBCTOKYO. This grinder is a blessing! Tom Cotton and Tamiko found it the other day at a recycle shop. The lady wanted only 4,000yen (about $45.00usd). She was not even sure it worked. They easily go for about $600.00usd. Another great find. Thank you Jesus!

Our sister Taami gave her testimony and we were all super blessed! Thank you Taami for the encouraging words. We are so thankful that you are a part of this semester. God is Good!
