Approved!
Posted by joyce4japan on March 21, 2007
Our time in America has been rushed and chaotic but well worth it. On Friday we completed our interviews and training for our transition to Long-Term missionaries and we are happy to report that we have been approved. What does this mean? Well, we will return to Japan on April 2 to fulfill our commitments to Oyumino Alive Church Plant, Open House English Classes, and Covenant Community School International. 
After that, in July, we will come back to the USA for a year or so of Home Ministry. We look forward to our time of visiting the many people we are not able to see on this trip and the time we will have to visit churches and share the other part of our work as missionaries; raising support for the work in Japan, and bringing before the American church the call of Christ, to all his people, to be involved in missions.
