Here is the crew from the November Tonaki trip. It was a great time. As you can see, some kids who live on the island wanted to jump into the picture. Through the outreaches we did, we ended up making friends with about a dozen kids. We were also able to share the Gospel with a few adults that came. Thanks for your prayers; it was a great weekend.

I am working on a trip for the last weekend of January with Yoshua, the guy that went with me to Tonaki on the first trip we took, back in June. We are hoping to go to Tonaki again this month, but we also want to take a day and visit Kume Island. We want to meet some of the Christians on that island and if possible go to the church there.

Kume Island has around 10,000 people on it; a bit more than the 400 people on Tonaki. I'm currently praying about whether God wants

to use Kume as a kind of ministry hub for the islands west of the main Okinawa island.

You can see in the top map picture where Tonaki is. Kume is on in the bottom map. It is on the same ferry line and only about an hour away from Tonaki.

Please pray for this upcoming trip. We desire to see a harvest in the islands, but we also recognize that some spiritual preparation may be required first. Please pray that God would guide the trip, the encounters, and the vision in this area; and that we would be obedient to his direction.
