The Japan Squad mission was to learn about Japanese people and culture, experience life with Japanese Christians, and help with ministry to the Japanese people. From our experience with them, I know they did these things and much more! Many prayers were answered and I can say, “Mission accomplished!”

Lee Ann and I boarded the 8:00 express train to Iwaki 13 minutes before departure. During almost two and a half hours on the train, I could quietly rehearse my 2-minute speech in Japanese lots of times!

Last December, we had picked haukusai (napa cabbage) at M san’s farm. Now, we were invited back to plant seeds.

Happy to come home? We certainly were! We spent 32 days in the States this summer.

How long must I wait for an answer to prayer? One year ago and a little bit, February 2016, I began praying daily Matthew 9:37-8 at 9:38 AM.
