Its hard to believe that the TMK team leaves in 12 days (July 25) and the NBF team leaves in 21 days (Aug 2). This year we are sending two teams to Japan. Both teams will do the 5 day Gospel Light VBS program called SonQuest Rainforest. The TMK team will be doing their VBS at the Tokorozawa Migumi Kyokai (Tokorozawa Grace Church) where Jon and Chieko Reasoner are serving as the missionaries. TMK is a church mission sponsored by SEND International Missions. Richard Nakamura, another SEND missionary, will be joining the TMK team. Richard and Keri are working on establishing a house church in East Tokyo.
The NBF team will be heading to Yokosuka and doing their VBS for the Nokendai Bible Fellowship. The Nokedai Bible Fellowship was started by TEAM missionaries, Alma and Larry Olines. When the Olines retired, Kohichi and Shirley Tamura stepped up and began leading the church.
We are very excited to begin our time in Japan and to have the privilege of working along side these missionaries. As we prepare, please continue to pray for open hearts in Japan, and for God to work through and in us as we serve. Blessings, Al
