Are you having a far-fetched, fun, frivolous, fantastic fall? Frankly, we hope so. Let’s focus on some fall facts from the field of Japan!

Fall Retreat

First, we enjoyed meeting with our church family from various groups with whom we fellowship. We met at a local resort/meeting area, discussing how as a church we are like a three-strand cord that is not easily broken. With Japanese churches being so small (as well as few and far between), we find that meeting together can be a huge encouragement to fellow Christians. The church is so much bigger than simply our small group of believers!

Falks’ Visit

Dakota and Ashley Falk from Michigan visited Japan on a survey trip, considering missions here. They were able to attend the Fall Retreat, as well as spend time with each of the three ABWE church-plant areas. Thank you for your continued prayer support for the Lord of the Harvest to raise up new workers for His harvest field. We are still praying for more help! If the Lord leads, we will gladly welcome the Falks to our team!

Folk Music with a Family Flair

Our family – all five of us! – have participated in three different concerts in the past month or so. Mostly, we do this to generate funds for our coffee shops (and to pay our employees!). But we also sing and play to cross paths with new people and old friends.

Finally, I am finished. Farewell! (Aren’t I funny?)
