Dear Friends & Prayer Partners,<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
Here in Japan it’s Christmas Eve morning. We had a wonderful worship service at the Isesaki Church yesterday (details and photos to follow) and this evening we’ll be back in Gunma for a candlelight service. In the meantime we’re scurrying around this morning getting Sky out the door at 7 a.m. for his final soccer matches of the year (yes, today!), wrapping a few presents, nursing the other two kids who have been hit with a cold virus and sipping on our tea. If all goes according to plan… we hope to take off for a few days of snow play on the 26th.<\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

AND….. we want to take a moment to send our Christmas Greetings to you -our family, friends, and support team! How can we thank you adequately for all your prayer, love and support over these past 12 months?? Well, we can’t but we do want you to at least know how much we appreciate it. \u00a0Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Merry Christmas!<\/em><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>…and may you experience a blessed beginning to the new year that lies ahead!<\/em><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Your partners in prayer and mission,<\/p>\n
