This Pilgrim’s Progress…
(Please be sure to read BIG CHANGES section!) INTERNATIONAL FRIENDSHIP GROUP Lunch & Lounge It’s been a wonderful year of working with my friend Carmen who is the Anglican Chaplain at the University of Calgary to provide lunch and sometimes more to busy, hungry students each Monday throughout the year. Many came with friends, talked amongst themselves, and left satisfied. Others asked us about ourselves, the churches we attend, the things we believe (Carmen’s collar helped!). It was precious partnership…
Flemings in the Philippines!
Dear family and friends, We have exciting news to share 🙂 Baby Fleming is on the way! We are so thankful that God has entrusted us with the gift of being parents and for all the ways that the Lord has provided for us already. Our Doctor Through referrals from other missionaries who have given birth in the Philippines, we have found a doctor who is an excellent fit for us, whom we trust, and feel comfortable with. In the Philippines,…
Hitachinaka Happenings
Thank you to those who offered a car to make the crisscrossing of Ontario enjoyable. We have decided on a gently used “veteran” Hyundai currently parked in Thunder Bay. We will fly to Thunder Bay, visit Westfort Baptist, and enjoy the Lake Superior North Shore drive back to Southern Ontario. So fun! Praying to avoid hitting a moose! We asked for prayer for a car, as it can be difficult finding something for 4 months, but we had enough car…

FEBRUARY UPDATE 2023 This new year has brought about many mixed emotions from every end of the spectrum, but seems to be shaping up to be what I am referring to as a transition year (which basically means I have no idea what to expect). We will be sending out an official update on El Nido next month, but wanted to get ahead of the curve and let you know about some other things going on in our lives as…
Hitachinaka Happenings
Greetings from Japan. We will soon begin our 30th year in Japan, and while we have learned some things about ourselves, and the Japanese we “came to save” (ha ha), the most important lessons we have learned revolve around the power of “extraordinary prayer”. We want to continue praying and look for God’s answers, and we want you to pray for Japan in such a way that we are able to report God is moving in the lives of people…
