Japan Update (03/23/2011) "Still going to Japan?"

Hey everyone,
So some of you may be wondering "are you still going to Japan with all this nuclear worry and evacuation happening?" And the answer is as of right now, yes.  I have not heard anything from the IMB about changes in our plans. Some good news I found out is that I now have definite dates of departure. I will be moving to Virginia on October 17th for training for 8 weeks and then move to Japan on December 30th. That is almost half a year from now and anything could happen. If any of those nuclear power plants explodes, I believe it should happen by then, but more than likely everything should be stabilized and life in Tokyo should resume.

This morning I read an article about IMB missionaries in Japan from the IMB website. IMB Japan Missionary Article :
This article is of double importance to me because it not only talks about Japan IMB personnel, but it specifically mentions MY SUPERVISOR. My supervisor has been officially relocated, which means If I were to be going to Japan right now, it definitely would not be in Tokyo.  Please read this article to see what it is like for my supervisors family and fellow Japanese baptists.

Please Pray:
•    that the relocated missionaries will be a witness in their temporary locations
•    for the ministries and partners they left behind
•    for those missionaries who are living in “tight quarters” and sharing homes

Daniel
