In For the Long Haul

On April 11^th, the MSGF Japan team members began their long term language program at the Yamasa Institute in Okazaki, Japan. This program should lead to fluency after 1 ^1/₂ to 2 years of study. The school is an excellent institution and a blessing from God.

Mustard Seed is also very pleased to report that the entire team received religious worker visas! This means that they are able to live in Japan for three years until they have to go back to the Japanese immigration office to extend their visas. This is extremely helpful as the entire team has committed to stay in Japan for at least seven years. God is very good and continues to provide for this church planting effort.
