Flemings in the Philippines!
Please Pray! Hello friends and family, We were in the midst of packing and getting ready for our home assignment last week when some visa and passport issues were brought to our attention. These things might affect when we can come to Canada. Please pray that everything would be resolved. Our desire is to fly back to Canada on our original departure date of January 15th, but if things don’t get worked out by then and we need to delay our departure,…
Hitachinaka Happenings
We are unshaken in Japan! Japan has made the news again, and the latest earthquake has resulted in this sooner-than-intended prayer update. We live on the east coast of Honshu, 300 km from the epicenter of the Japan earthquake that you likely saw on the news. It was bad, but we experienced only a long rocking sensation (think being in a canoe), which indicated a really big earthquake not so nearby. This time, it was not under our house. Thanks…
Flemings in the Philippines!
Dear family and friends, We hope you are doing well! As we near the end of 2023, we wanted to share about how the school semester has gone, and include a financial update. Coaching It feels like we are having more and more fun coaching with each year that passes! Coming out of COVID, many kids hadn’t had many opportunities to be active, so during our first few years of coaching, a big focus was on teaching fundamentals and developing…
Paul Family Update
US. Hello everyone, and I apologize for the delay with the updates. My initial plan was to release this at the beginning of October, but that did not happen. I thought we could kick off this newsletter with an update on us. Oliver’s minor surgery went well, so thanks for all the prayers. He is now 4 years old and is starting school in January. He attended his induction class last week, and it went really well. Despite telling us…
Hitachinaka Happenings
Greetings from Hitachinaka, Japan. After a four-month Home Assignment in Ontario, returning “home” feels good. We dreaded a summer of weeds in the backyard and our garden on the edge of the subdivision, but our neighbour took it upon himself to do some spraying for us. We were sad to leave elderly parents, daughters Julia and Tess and her husband Jacob, as well as, new grandbaby Raphael Amos Winter, born September 13 in Toronto. Tess and Jacob live close to…
Welcome Mia Fleming!
We are thrilled to introduce Mia Joy Fleming to you all. Mia was born on October 6, 2023 at 3:13am, weighing 2.75kg / 6lbs 1oz. Fun fact! Mia is a name in English, French, and Japanese, and Filipino people pronounce it the same way as Canadians would! The Japanese characters that we have chosen for her name, 美愛, mean “beautiful love.” It’s special that she has a name in the languages that we speak 🙂 Thank you everyone for your love, support, and…
Hitachinaka Happenings
We are thankful for your prayers in response to our letter in April. It was a smooth transition from Japan to Waterloo. Rob`s back is much better. Tess and Jacob’s baby is due this September in Toronto, and we also are happy to announce Grady and Brittany will follow suit in October, with that birth being in Manila, Philippines. Julia, our youngest, calls the two growing babies “Thing 1 & Thing 2”, from the Cat in the Hat. We are…

Flemings in the Philippines!
Praise God for a great end to the school year. It’s so fun to reflect on this past year and think of all the experiences had, lessons learned, and relationships built at Faith.

It was such a privilege to watch their baptisms, and…
