On the Road Again!

Here we are - nearly 7 years after the most recent post. There's no surprise that a great deal has transpired in the intervening years. We moved to Japan in 2012 to provide leadership at OMS Christian Mission Church and network with our partner denomination in Japan. We returned to the US in 2014 and moved into a pastorate upon our return with missions being a sidelight. Now, 3 years later, we're returning to international ministry nearly full-time. Beginning in September we'll move into a more active role of training and coaching pastors and church planters in Japan and South Korea, traveling overseas 3-4 times per year. The largest differences in our role will be in the time we spend in Asia (3-5 weeks at a time vs. 2 weeks) and the amount of time we'll spend in the States preparing for and following up our ministry trips. While home in the States, we'll maintain closer contact with our partners overseas and seek to assist them to build and strengthen their networks of groups following Christ.
