A new team

It has been a joy in recent years to have many new missionaries coming to Japan with OMF. Our language school has literally been bursting at the seams. It is an even greater joy for us to have the privilege of two of these new workers being added to our team from the beginning of next month. JP and Nora come from Germany and arrived in Japan in the summer of 2008. They have both done really well at the language school and are now ready to finish there and join a church planting team. They are both young and full of ideas, but at the same time are very teachable and looking to learn. They have worked in the past in different kinds of church settings in Germany, reaching young people in particular. Both are keen surfers and snowboarders and hope to use these interests for ministry opportunities. We are very much looking forward to having them on board (no pun intended!) in Hiragishi. But even more so we are looking forward to seeing what the Lord might do through them and through all of us in this baby church plant as the months and years go by.
