Okinawa, Japan!
As we've waited for news from the Cadence home office, we've speculated about places in Europe and the States. So the news came as an unexpected shock but after we had time to sit and contemplate it we became really excited. We will be working with the Oshman Family (Mark, Jen, Zoe, Abby Grace, & Hannah). There is more information about them in the sidebar (the column on the right of the screen) so check them out. Elaine and I spoke with Mark for about two hours the other night and were really encouraged by what they are doing to serve the US military there.
The next step is a two week trip in March to meet the Oshman's (and their ministry at "The Harbor") face to face and to make sure we are a good match. We then hope we can head back to Japan at the end of next summer. As I learn more about the ministry and what we will be doing we will keep everyone up to date.

Awesome! Glad to hear!
ReplyDeletekids... this is really exciting, i could come to Japan... someday. But, i don't think you should get your hearts set on spending the next 15 years there... really, i don't think i could handle that. Somewhere in the Med, maybe?
ReplyDeletelots of love!

We can't wait to meet you face to face, Wes and Elaine! We'll be praying for your preparations. Yes, Okinawa is a shocking and very distant destination! However, its distance from the States and the high "ops tempo" here make it an awesome place to impact people for Christ! Hearts here are so tender... Anyway--we're praying for you and can't wait to show you what God is doing on this small island.
