Toa Wedding Bells

      On June 27th our TOA Ministries coworker, Sotomi ("Tomi") will be marring Lance Little, a math teacher at the Greater Houlton Christian Academy in Houlton, Maine. We greatly appreciate Lance and Tomi as they both are very active in the work of the Lord, sharing a great interest in, and burden for, Bible studies and Bible study texts. Lance is the adult class Sunday School teacher in his home church.  

     Tomi and Lance will continue to work on TOA Bible study materials, especially together on a new set on youth questions in the Bible, titled "In Quest of Identity." Though we will miss Tomi here in Japan we will continue to work with her on TOA projects.  Computer technology makes long distance collaboration easy today, compared to in the past. Tomi and her children will be moving to the U.S. after their visa is approved, hopefully before the new school year begins in late August.  (Please pray for the visa!) 

     Also, in connection with the June wedding here in Japan, there will be a "summer missions team" of six students from the Greater Houlton Christian Academy and one college student from California with us between June 23rd and July 15th. Various outreach programs are in the plans, as well as work on, and experimental use of, the new youth questions text.
