In late January, the Japan Field Council met on the snowy northern island of Hokkaido for a short retreat before beginning our Mission Strategy planning sessions. We were blessed to have Pastor Robert Morgan of The Donelson Fellowship as our speaker. Rob also serves on the International Mission Board, and we were encouraged through his messages and personal life experiences. After the retreat, we returned to the Ebetsu area to spend four days in discussions about future ministry plans. It's our desire as FWB missionaries to see the Gospel spread throughout Japan in the most effective way of reaching people for Christ. Thanks for praying for the ministries in Japan!
