We have completed our first month back in Iowa! The kids have been enjoying (with some trepidation) AWANA for the first time in their young lives. They are not used to being in the same room as so many children at one time! But they religiously study their verses, repeating them to each other over and over and over. The most asked question around here is, “How many more days till AWANA?” We’re grateful they can take advantage of this opportunity to get into God’s Word  . . . and for God’s Word to get into them!

We just visited our 37th church this year with another five months to go before returning home to Japan. I think we are getting to the point of being ready to go back. We continue to enjoy meeting up with friends and acquaintances from each church. We are being refreshed each week by Christian fellowship, seeing what God is doing in churches, and being blessed by so many.

In November, we visit churches in Waverly, Burlington, and Carroll, IA. We are currently seeking to fill November 25th.

Psalm 90:14 Satisfy us in the morning with your steadfast love, that we may rejoice and be glad all our days.
