Scary stats...

In Japan, 1 couple marries every 41 seconds; another couple is divorced every 2 minutes, 22 seconds (statistics by "Operation Japan 2000"). :(

Japan is a nation that needs a soul.

"children are being born out of wedlock in huge numbers; more and more Japanese students are dropping out of college and showing less interest in long-term professional careers; crime rates among Japanese young people are skyrocketing. Currently the federal government is considering legislation that will lower the age at which young people can be tried in court as adults. Juvenile detention centers are packed and over-flowing." - Asian Access Japan

"Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?" And I said, "Here am I. Send me!" - Isaiah 6:8

“The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field.” - Matthew 9:38

Send us with fire to go love the world.


In more positive news, the retreat speaker hunt is looking good right now! Keep praying! :)
