Hi everyone,
Thank you for your prayers after the recent loss of my father. Though it has been a difficult season in many ways, Yoko and I are thankful for the time we had with Dad before his passing, and for the time with Mom and family in the weeks since.
We are scheduled to return to Japan next Wednesday, so please be praying for our travels and also for God’s wisdom and direction as we transition back to life there and get into a new season of ministry.
There are also a couple of upcoming events we’d appreciate your prayers for:
On September 15, planning to be at the Hokuriku Missions Conference, where we have the opportunity to promote Drawbridge Creations. Please pray that we can make good connections and grow our ministry here.
Meanwhile, throughout September, some of my work is on display in Seto (near Nagoya), along with work by Stephen McCranie, in an exhibit called “The Story Behind the Story.” Gallery Nani is run by a missionary couple there who use this space for community connection and outreach. The exhibit runs all month, and Yoko and I are planning to be there in person for the final weekend artist talk event. Please pray that spiritual bridges will be built through this exhibit and event!
Thank you again for your prayers and support for our life and ministry in Japan!
