It's been a while, but here's a short update. The remodeling work is taking much longer than expected, but we have people working almost around the clock to get things ready for our "opening ceremony" on August 20.
A big thank you to the Kona DTS team of Cliff, Chan, Mike, and Moses, who put in a week or so of very hard work ripping up old vinyl flooring and busting tiles and a concrete wall out of our parking area. Everyone here was impressed by your enthusiasm and servant hearts. (I hope you get your cho cho longs, Cliff.)
Also to the Australia team that helped for two days. The kids are going to get a lot of fun out of those blocks. And I'll think about you guys whenever I see those shiny brass edges on the stairs.
I'll be going down to Kobe on August 11 and 12 to observe Sharon in action at the preschool she started earlier this year. She and the Lord have a good thing going there and it is her vision to see schools multiplied across Japan.
Please keep the project in prayer. As we get closer to the end of the remodeling, it is time to focus more on our program, teacher recruiting and training, publicity and student recruiting. Please pray for me personally as well that I will be wise with my time. I am still on my current job until March and want to have a great transition to the next head teacher there. I have never worked on a project as big as this preschool project before and at times feel overwhelmed. I also need to be a good husband and father in the midst of the busyness. In other words, I need to listen keenly to the Lord and follow his leading.
Thank you for reading, and for your prayers.
