Happy New Year from Japan! (January 2015 prayer letter)
Hi everyone,
Well, as you can see, I’ve arrived safely back in Japan. I got here on December 28, and have been enjoyed getting caught up with friends and celebrating the New Year. Thank you for your prayers during my time in North America and my travels to Japan!
This week I’m taking time to get organized and prepared for the year’s ministries. I’d appreciate your prayers during this time; please pray that God will give me vision and direction as I plan and set goals for the coming months, so that I can have an effective and fruitful ministry this year.
Thank you and God bless!

New Years in Japan
This video is about 4 years old now, but I thought I’d re-post it now because it’ll give you a look at what New Years is like in Japan.
News & Christmas Greetings
Hi everyone,
In my last prayer letter, some things were kind of up in the air. So I wanted to write to you today with an update. In the past week, I’ve received the paperwork I was waiting for, applied for and received my work visa, and booked my plane ticket back to Japan.
I’m scheduled to leave, as I was hoping, right after Christmas: this Saturday, December 27. I’ll arrive in Nagoya Sunday night, local time. I’d appreciate it if you would remember me in your prayers as I travel.
Thank you for your prayers and support throughout 2014! Lord wiling, my next email will be from Japan in early January. In the meantime, I hope you have a very merry Christmas and a happy New Year!
– Robin

It’s Christmas. Baby, Please Come Home.
Recorded last year with some friends in Nagoya. We were practicing for the church’s Christmas event.

In celebration of the season, I’m going to be posting some holiday videos here. This one’s called Christmas in Japan, by my friend John Janzen (Fatblueman). You either get it or you don’t…
December Prayer Letter
Hi everyone,
November brought me to the end of Partnership Development. In total I’ve visited 25 churches since late June. It’s been great re-connecting with supporters, family and friends. I’m super thankful for the encouragement and hospitality I’ve received, as well as God’s protection and provision over these past 6 months.
What’s next? Well, my current plans are to return to Japan between Christmas and New Year. However, I’m still waiting on an important document from Japan that I need before I can apply for my visa. And of course, without a visa, I can’t return to Japan. Please pray that God will provide!
I’d also appreciate your prayers for God’s direction for the next phase of ministry, especially our English ministry in Nagoya.
Hopefully I’ll be in touch soon to let you know how God has answered your prayers, and to tell you my specific plans for returning to Japan.
In the meantime, thank you for your ongoing prayers and financial support!
Blessings,
– Robin
Adventures With Food! (video)
The blog has been pretty quiet lately except for my monthly prayer updates, so while I’m still in Canada and have some extra time as Partnership Development comes to an end, I think I’ll post some videos and stuff here. This is one I just finished editing and uploading, and is a compilation of several short food-related clips. Enjoy.

My Pray for Japan Video
This is a video I put together a while back, that I’ve been showing at churches I’ve been visiting during Partnership Development. A look at the beautiful sights of the country I call home, and a reminder to pray for the 99% unreached.
