Below are updates of what God is doing through our church planting team in Tsukuba, Japan as we seek to reach the Never Reached of Japan with the Gospel.
Updates
Pirate, Prayer & Papers
The end of the trimester is rapidly approaching and thus, our schedule is getting busier. The last couple of weeks have flown bye at warp speed. Chris has been busy grading rough draft of his hermeneutics papers. He is also busy writing the final exam for next week....
Home groups
Every Friday we have faculty & student home groups. During our home groups we focus on getting to know the students and building relationships with them. Each week we enjoy a "merienda" or large snack. This usually includes 2 home made goodies (cookies, cake,...
Family Photo
Missionaries take lots of pictures. A family photo is frequently needed for a church or newsletter. Today we attempted to take a photograph for a church that requested an updated photo of the family. As with any family with little kids, getting a good picture can be a...
Lunch with Cara
Last Friday Cara, one of our students took the family out to lunch. She wanted to thank Lindsey for helping her study for the English entrance exam. She passed it and now is taking two of Chris' classes. We went to a Korean BBQ where we cooked the meat at our own...
Young Kids Bible Club
Young Kids Bible Club has started again with the new trimester. We just had our third meeting yesterday. The kids are enjoying it and learning more about Jesus. This week we learned about Jesus praying in the garden of Gethsemane. After play time and song time the...
The Amoeba’s Ugly Cousin Strikes Again!
I’ve had an upset stomach since Thursday and, so I thought it was time to see a doctor and get things sorted. The whole going to the doctor and getting some medicine is not an easy process here. This is the part of the life of a missionary that most people never hear...
A preview for the grandparents
Sending mail is a bit tricky from the Philippines. For those of you who just got our newsletter, we mailed it out about a month ago. Some people, like my parents, still haven't gotten it yet. So, when we get the chance we try to send out mail with people who are going...
Welcome Student Banquet
This Saturday the whole family attended the President's Welcome banquet. We got to talk with different students and enjoyed a meal together. We also had a good time singing "God is So Good" in the 13 different languages of APTS (French, Thai, Japanese, Indonesian,...
New Student Dinner
Last week was orientation week for all the new students. Many of them started to arrive the previous weekend. The first day on campus for many of the new students was a holiday and the cafeteria was closed. So, we decided to invite all the new students over for...
Malaka Trip
Thank you to everyone who prayed! We were all well enough to travel and enjoyed our week in Malaysia. The week flew by so quickly. We enjoyed getting to visit with some of the other missionaries from South East Asia. Lindsey had the chance to do a little bit of...
Reaching the Never Reached of Japan
We also have a passion to reach kids and their families. Every month TICA does a special family service that has interactive experiments and activities geared toward kids and those hearing the gospel for the first time. We also have a weekly play group for moms and their preschoolers, and we hold regular community and family outreach events that feature our BGMC flying saucer! Learn more here.
Reaching the Never Reached of Japan
THE NEED
Over 99% of the people of Japan DO NOT KNOW JESUS. They are part of the Never Reached.
HOW TO HELP
PRAY CONTINUALLY
The only way to truly reach the people of Japan for Jesus is by preaching the Word of God by the power of the Holy Spirit and by prayer and fasting. As a result, we need prayer partners. Will you partner with us by committing to pray for Japan, for workers in Japan, and for us?
GIVE MONTHLY
Your faithful support ensures that we can continue to pursue the ministry God has given us.
- Work & Ministry Expenses
- Housing and insurance
- Food and clothing
JOIN US IN JAPAN
We are looking for people to come and be a part of our team! We are serving in a country that is less than 1% Christian, yet has very few missionaries. There are so many opportunities that we need all the help we can get! Please prayerfully consider coming for a short term or long term missions trip to Tsukuba, Japan.
