While James grew up in Japan and already spoke Japanese, Rosie was born and raised in GA. To be able to live and work as a missionary, Rosie attended a language school to learn how to read, write, and speak Japanese.

In this episode, we talk through what it was like for someone to go from zero Japanese to comfortably functioning in Japan using Japanese. We also talk about things we did to help expedite her learning process.

In this podcast episode, we discuss our missionary work, sharing updates after a nine-month hiatus. We've experienced significant events like relocating church buildings and hosting three interns. Our main goal is to start 16 churches by 2030, and we seek prayer and support for this initiative. We're also working on establishing a steady rhythm in our work and have plans for community outreach. Get the details in this episode.

We have not only been thinking about moving the location of our first (and second!) church locations, but also been praising God for a crazy turnout this past Sunday. Get the details in this week's episode.

It's been a while since we've done a podcast update. From first-time visitors to potential locations, things are hopping (even if they're only hopping on one leg) You'll get that last part once you listen in :)

It's been a crazy week here in Japan. Spiritually speaking we have seen a major victory. Spiritually speaking, we are also facing opposition. Learn more about how our friend got saved as well as some of the current weight by listening to this episode.
