Hi everyone,
I hope you all enjoyed the holiday this past week, whether you celebrated Canada Day on the 1st or Independance Day on the 4th. No holiday in Japan, but Summer is definitely here! That means it’s time for one of my almost-quarterly newsletters. Please follow the link below to read, download or print:

May 1, 2017. Matsumoto Castle is one of the biggest and most interesting Japanese castles I’ve been to. Unfortunately it was a bit of a grey and raining day, but we made the best of it anyway.

Hi everyone,
Thanks for your prayers this past month. It was a busy one, with lots of travel, meetings, and a couple of preaching opportunities. I’m thankful for God’s protection and guidance.
The photo above is from my visit to the Immanuel Church in Nirayama, where I preached and led worship in English with the help of an interpreter. It’s a very small church, as you can see, but on the day of my visit there were six guests. One of the pastors told me by email later that two young girls who were visiting that day were showing an interest to putting their faith in Jesus. Please pray for these two girls and for the pastors as they follow up with them.
I’d appreciate your prayers as we enter the summer months. Here are some things going on in June you can pray for:
Again, thank you so much for your prayers and support!

In contrast to last week’s ruins, here’s a look at the ultra modern side of Japan. This is the Abeno Harukas building in Osaka, said to be the tallest skyscraper in Japan. I shot this when I visited Osaka back in December 2016.

It’s no secret I’m in love with the mountains of Japan. Looking at this, how could anyone wonder why? (Taken from atop mount Sengatake in Mie prefecture, January 2016.)
