Furlough Replacement: We completed our first replacement on October 23, 2019, in British Colombia, Vancouver Island, Canada, for four months. Our next opportunity was in Japan from April 9 – August 24, 2020. Our previous service as missionaries in Japan afforded us the ability to speak Japanese and help our families In Japan.
After we reach the full-support level, we will be grateful to work with more of our missionary families every year, assisting in their absence while they take much-needed furlough time. Our ministry goals in every location we replace will be that each ministry will not only continue as we find it but that as we maintain the integrity of the work until the Missionary returns, it will grow. Our hope is to reach more souls for Christ and to edify the saints as we continue to encourage them to follow Christ.
Our ministry involves preaching, teaching, music, and evangelism. Our outreach will concentrate on the perspective location and focus on honoring the Lord in every way possible. Your prayers are the key, and the power of the Gospel will accomplish what God sends His Word to do. We desire to be good stewards of the gifts that God has entrusted to us and the support that comes from God’s people financially and prayerfully. We realize what a privilege we have in Christ. We ask that you pray for us and “expect great things from God with us.
