Our ability to minister in Japan is dependent upon the generous support of churches and individuals who support us through financial giving. In a very tangible sense, those who give financially to this ministry are partners with us in the work of church planting here in Japan. Through both monthly financial giving, and special gifts given in 2021, along with gifts that were given in previous years (which make up our reserve fund), God abundantly provided for our family in 2021.
Our 2022 Budget has increased by about $380/mo from 2021. This is mostly due to a raise of $350/mo to our salary. With the birth of Evangeline, and increased expenses as our children grow we felt the need to ask JEMS for this raise, and they agreed that it was warranted.
