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…

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…
Hitachinaka Happenings

Julia, our youngest, calls the two growing babies “Thing 1 & Thing 2”, from the Cat in the Hat. We are…

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. Here are some of our highlights from the last quarter of the semester: Baptisms By God’s grace, 7 high school students chose to publicly declare their repentance, faith, and obedience to our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. It was such a privilege to watch their baptisms, and…

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…
