Back from Asia!

Hello to all!

I am pleased to report that it was safe travels back to the USA. Quite uneventful except for the fact that my very last flight was delayed half an hour 'cause of bad weather in STL. Well, after that, stopped by Garden Valley to drop off Jessie for her trip, then back to New Braunfels. China and Japan were very very good! In China, I was visiting friends that are working there, teaching new brothers the way of the Teacher. I had an opportunity to do quite a bit of sightseeing and prayerwalking. Honestly, it was just a big bath of culture that I was just soaking in! Then in Japan it is more open to do outspoken ministry, it was amazing how the timing worked out, God had it all planned! The day i got there, Allen had just left, and the day I left, Mike arrived! So good is His timing! Lots of new friends were made, and I anxiously await my return. Jessie is already saying the two of us should go next summer together! We'll see... it's a thought ;) Jet lag was kicking my butt for a few days, but once we left St. Louis it seemed to pass. The Fuse Jesus Community is going through a time of transition, so it has been a little tough on them, but God is guiding them through it! Some of the original missionaries that were there from the start about a year ago just left, while other new ones are on their way for a bit longer. Continue to pray for Mark and Yuiko, Joe, Janine, Sally, and Mike as they lead the charge to reach out to a young generation that is desperately looking for hope! Be blessed this summer, and I hope that you had or have a chance to hear from me either at Gracepoint or Dayspring soon! Thank you all for your prayers, they are greatly appreciated!
