| Nick visiting with some ladies at the July English Cafe |
This summer was an extremely busy one. We were blessed to have a young intern from Moody Bible Institute in Chicago join us from mid-May until early August, Nick Jeschke. Nick's youthful energy and bright red hair reminded us a much younger Murray Trim for whom God used a summer of ministry in Japan in 1978 to call him to full-time service in Japan as a missionary. We had the privilege of hosting Nick, sadly, because the missionaries originally scheduled to host him had to return to the home country of Germany due to complications after the earthquake and tsunami in Northeast Japan. However, we are confident that God brought him to us just when we most needed him. Nick assisted in so many ways, including distributing church brochures in nearby neighborhoods, technology assistance with computers and projectors, planning and preparing for the huge area-wide charity event for the victims of the earthquake and tsunami, teaching and observing English classes, leading English Bible studies, speaking and helping at the monthly English Cafes and much more. Thank you, Nick, for giving your time and energy to serve the Lord in Japan this past summer.
