I never knew you all personally but as a fellow laborer reaching the Japanese for Christ, I was deeply sadden by your news and grieved, yet as I read entry after entry of your blog, I was embolden by your faith, journey and encouraged, reminded that our great God is good and sovereign and will make what is evil and broken, good. I cannot wait to meet you all on the other side with our Heavenly Father with the multitudes of Japanese who will reckon and call Jesus their LORD and Savior! For the Joy of Japan!
