Dear Family and Friends,

Thank you for your prayers for me and the ministry here in Japan. It is exciting to watch God work in and through Komyo Christian Church!

shan1I would like to introduce you to our newest team members, Ken and Rachelle Johnson and their four children. We are in awe of how God has worked to prepare the way for them to join us at Komyo Christian Church and as NAB missionaries for the next two years. You can read more about them on the NAB website. We are excited for their arrival on August 25 when we will take them to the amazing house which God provided in an incredible location. Their excitement for ministry in Japan and commitment to sharing Jesus’ love is contagious. Thank you for praying for them and this process!

shan2In other exciting news, on Sunday, August 14, we will hold a baptism service for Elijah and Mrs. S, seated on the right side of the picture to the right. The two seated on the left side of the picture transferred their membership to Komyo Church. It was neat to hear each of their testimonies at our quarterly business meeting. God is at work!

shan3Our most recent ladies’ seminar was held at the end of July. As we discussed and studied “Developing our Hearts,” we looked into the life of Ruth to see how God fills our thirsts. The new attendees and those returning were diligent learners contributing to the success of the seminar. What a joy to learn and fellowship with these women!

Thank you for being part of each of these people’s lives as you pray for us. I am excited to see how God works in the next few months of transition. May God be praised as we serve Him together! Soli Deo Gloria, Shan in Japan
