Hi there! It has been a very blessed month in terms of serving the Lord. While it has been hard to have my family apart from me, Laura and I recognize that the Lord has allowed them to be safe and comfortable in the states while I participate in the Calvary Tohoku Relief ministry as it is just beginning. I have actually spent more time over the last month in the Sendai area than in Tokyo! But it has been wonderful to have been used by the Lord. Please be sure to check out the Calvary Tohoku Relief blog for all those updates:

Over one Sunday at my home church, though, I was very blessed to participate in their monthly worship outreach which is done outside our local train station in Kokubunji. It was a little chilly still then, but we played for two straight hours while members of the church handed out flyers for our Easter service and talked with people who stopped to listen. Pastor Chizuo and the worship leader Chihiro said that in the almost four years they have done this outreach, they have never had such a strong response; we gave out all 500 flyers we had printed and had many great conversations.
So things have been wonderfully busy which has made missing my wife and daughters more bearable. I am on the way to visit them in Iowa now, and return on the 26th to be in Kokubunji for the Calvary Chapel Japan conference, then I plan to continue to serve in the Tohoku region on a regular basis, prayerfully for the remainder of my time here. I will keep you posted! God bless you!
