Kite flying in the park. Spring is almost here!

Although I hear that the northern United States is still getting snow, spring is almost here in Shin-Urayasu, Japan.  We are looking forward to things coming alive again and especially the blooming of the cherry blossoms.

We recently went to a kite flying event in our community.  It is held every spring and is a good chance to spend time with our neighbors.  It was a little chilly that day but the sky was clear and we all had a great time.  (The organizers also provided hot miso soup and hot chocolate to keep everyone warm.)

Robert was able to see several men from the Dad’s group he is a part of and Lisa connected with several moms from our Mom and Kids Club.

We are so thankful for the privilege to live and work in Japan.

Thank you 

Thank you to the many people who responded to our 

End-of-the-year letter.  

We were able to raise $14,705.00 in special giving now 

And an additional $200.00 in ongoing monthly support.  

We are so grateful for the prayers and ongoing financial support of our ministry partners.

We are excited about 2016.  We continue to make friends in our community and pray that God would continue to build a strong and vibrant church in Shin-Urayasu.
