Psalm 121

I will lift up my eyes to the mountains; from where shall my help come? My help comes from the LORD, who made heaven and earth. He will not allow your foot to slip; He who keeps you will not slumber. Behold, He who keeps Israel will neither slumber nor sleep. The LORD is your keeper; the LORD is your shade on your right hand. The sun will not smite you by day, nor the moon by night. The LORD will protect you from all evil; He will keep your soul. The LORD will guard your going out and your coming in from this time forth and forever.

Global Mission's Conference in Chattanooga, TN


















This weekend we had the pleasure of attending our denomination's Global Mission's Conference in Chattanooga. We were blessed with the opportunity of spending some time with the three other couples who are also currently raising support for Nagoya, the Gees, the Carters and the Sinks. Our future team mates! Also attending were our team leaders, Wayne & Amy Newsome; the couple who started the team 20+ years ago, Bruce & Susan Young; and a young man who just returned from spending a summer internship with the Nagoya team, Richard Ketcham. (Pictured from left to right; Gees, Newsomes, Youngs, Carters, Cravens, Sinks, Richard)


We had many opportunities to speak with others interested in the ministry opportunities available in Japan while taking our turn working at the Japan Partnership booth. We were also greatly encouraged and challenged by the wonderful speakers who spoke to the crowd of 2100+ at the Chattanooga Convention Center.




It was an absolutely beautiful time to travel through the mountains! Enjoying the beauty of God's creation.


"Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth be glad; let the sea roar, and the fullness thereof. Let the field be joyful, and all that is therein: then shall all the trees of the wood rejoice before the Lord: for he cometh, for he cometh to judge the earth: he shall judge the world with righteousness, and the people with his truth." Psalm 96:11-13
