Hey, just a quit update to say those of us from South Carolina have made it back safe and sound.  The trip was uneventful, and it actually took less time than heading out there.  Albeit, only a couple hours at most, but it felt notably shorter.  Anyway, we’ll have to await someone from the Boston [...]

Here’s a picture of a fountain in the [...]

While Kamakura is [...]

Howdy, all!  Sorry about the break from updates.  We were all doing “home-stays” for the last couple nights.  I think if I tried to type all that has happened these last couple days my fingers would fall off, so I’ll try to summarize as best I can.
We’ve had the priviledge of using the a building [...]

We had a glorious day today. We spent time with the team heading north to Aomori in a couple of days. They will be building a church. They are 7 strong from PA. A great group of people who love the Lord. They are Kathie, Takashi, Warren, Steve, Rich, Al & Joe. Those they will [...]
