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.

I know I said I'd do a blog on this years graduates, by my plans have been stalled do to illness. Hudson and I (Lindsey) were sick for the past two weeks with a terrible illness that my doctor called the "cousin to the amoeba". It was not fun! Plus, the medicine we...
Graduation
Sorry for the lack of recent blog entries. Both our laptop and our camera died! Thankfully, our regional director, Russ Turney, brought new ones with him last week when he came up for graduation. The camera and laptop were late Chrismas presents from Chris' parents....
New Books!
Currently our days are filled with the noise of construction as the new library is being built just across from our front door. While the noise is at times a bit of a nuisance, it has been interesting to watch the building progress. Now it is nearly completed. Thanks...

A Day In The Life of the Carters
First of all let me give a little side note. I'm sorry about the recent lack of updates. Our laptop that I use to blog has died and we sent it off to see if it can be revived. In the meantime I have to go into Chris' office to use a computer there. It hasn't been easy...

Busy, Busy
We have had a busy week. The next trimester here at APTS is now in full swing. Chris is busy trying to catch up on work after having to miss some time by staying with Wesley in the hospital. I had to catch up on some baking and on running errands after a week of sick...
Wesley’s trip to the hospital
I had started to write a blog about the trials of having sick kids, only to have things get even more difficult. So, to all my faithful readers, I’m sorry about the recent lack of entries, but I’ve had one or more kids sick for over a week now. In fact, Wesley got so...
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.
