Dear Friends,

Thank you for taking a moment to watch these two video updates (Video 1 [75 seconds] and Video 2 [44 seconds]) of our ministry through College Football in Japan. Please pray for the students at Chiba University, (over 12,000 completely unreached) and pray for my relationship with over 40 young men on the Football team. 

Grace to you,

Fred and Sheila

As we enter 2023, we are still about $2000 short on regular monthly support. We are so very grateful for your support, which has allowed us to be in Japan serving as missionaries. We now live in a very small apartment 30-50 minutes from the campus and our church. We are grateful for this but hope to rent a house closer so that we can open it up to students and Japanese friends, which is crucial for showing hospitality, sharing the Gospel, and loving people in Japan. 

Thank you so much for your partnership and prayers. For more information about who we are and what we do and to join our support partnership team, please click here.

You may have noticed a smiling teenager welcoming you as you come in the door for the last few Sunday mornings! But we need more people so we can create rotating teams for this very important job. If you're interested, see Melinda!

We will gather to pray for the advance of Christ's kingdom, success in evangelism, church planting, and our efforts to make the Lord's name great in our community to the farthest reaches of the globe. We will gather in the Library and spend about an hour together in prayer.
