Dale and Ann are back in Japan
We completed our home assignment and returned to Japan on January 1-2, 2012.
Due to lower than required donor income, we were unable to return to Japan as scheduled in September 2011. We are trusting that our financial deficit will be cleared by donor income during the first two quarters of 2012 and will evaluate our financial status once again in July 2012.
The good news is that this delay gave us the opportunity to celebrate Christmas with our children and Ann's family in Maine. All three children are university students in the US.
Our focus in 2012 will be tsunami recovery ministry in the northeastern city of Sendai, intentionally linked with the Sendai Izumi Evangelical Free Church church planting project (Larry and Bella Mori). See our japanquake.ca website.
Then in early 2013 we plan to launch our next church planting project: Tokyo Multicultural Church.
