Flemings in the Philippines!
Hi all! Thank you again, for praying for our housing situation! This is just a short update on how things have progressed on the housing front. Some things to praise God for: Our landlord said that he would keep the security deposit, which is common practice in the Philippines even when lease agreements are fulfilled. However, he said that he wanted to help us out, and knew that as a young family, we probably needed more space. So he agreed…

Hi all! Thank you so much for praying for our housing situation! Sometimes, God answers our prayers quickly! Shortly after sending out our most recent newsletter, we viewed a place that we think will be a great fit for our family. We have verbally agreed to sign the contract on January 25, and the move-in date is set for February 1. Please pray that things progress smoothly and that there will be no curveballs thrown at us while we prepare…

Semester 1 Recap: Coaching We are filled with joy as we reflect on semester 1 of the ‘24-’25 school year.

Christmas Greetings from Japan! 2024 has been a little different for us. We said goodbye to our remaining three parents this year: Kath’s dad in February, Kath’s mom in July, and Rob’s mom, who died in mid-November. Rob is thankful he went home to Timmins for a week this past August. Apart from fishing and picking wild blueberries with Timmins friends, the week was mostly spent eating those fish and blueberries with mom! Now we are the grandparents and are…

Greetings from Japan. We do not often get to begin a prayer letter by quoting a Discovery Bible Study friend of Kathryn’s professing, “I am a child of God” but we can this time. Mrs. Y, after 3 years of Bible with Kath says “My problems are all the same, but the way I deal with them has changed because of Jesus”. Praise God for this work in her life.A common question we field here is “Why are you do…

Our school theme this year is “Live the Story, Tell the Story” based on 1 Peter 3:15, which says “But in your hearts revere Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect.” We have had a few different opportunities to Tell the Story this year while we Live the Story. High School Retreat At Faith Academy’s high…

Sitting here in our home in Manila, we think back to our time in Canada and feel overwhelmed by feelings of gratitude to God and to all of you. Three of our main goals for our time in Canada were to rest, to reconnect with friends and family, and to raise prayer and financial partners. Upon reflection, we feel like God provided abundantly in these areas and we are so thankful! Praise God for such a lifegiving season in Canada.…

Greetings from Japan. Spring is when we plant those veggie seeds. We did that in March (Sorry, Canada!) and now we are enjoying watching everything grow. Weeding with anticipation of the harvest soon to be on the table. We are especially thankful for the beets we grow but cannot find in the grocery store! What a great reminder to us to continue to be part of what God is doing here in Japan. God is the true Gardener and Jesus…

Hi family and friends! We hope you are doing well 🙂 Since mid-January, we have been living in Waterloo, ON., and we wanted to share an update about the first bit of our time back in Canada. In our previous newsletter, we mentioned that we had three main goals during our time in Canada: to rest, to reconnect with friends and family, and to raise prayer and financial partners. Here is a little bit about how that has been going!…
