Louise Little, Dale's mother

We (Dale and Ann) took two weeks in April to be with Dale’s father and three siblings in the greater Vancouver area of BC, Canada, immediately following the death of Dale’s mother. She slipped peacefully into heaven from the palliative care ward of Peace Arch Hospital, White Rock, BC, at 10:45 PM, Apr 10, at the age of 94. Dale writes the following about his mother:

My mother smiled and laughed a lot. She had fun in life. She regularly encouraged me through her words and her notes/letters. She probably prayed for me daily. Best of all, she was transformed by Jesus her Saviour and committed to Jesus her Lord. I love her and miss her–but what a personal spiritual legacy!

On Jan 21, 2012, we personally purchased this used vehicle for our life and tsunami recovery ministry in northern Japan for the next year. It is a 1997 Toyota Hiace Regius 4WD, 2700 cc gasoline, 92000 km (57000 mi), 8 seater, or 5 seater with lots of luggage space.

We plan to drive north to Sendai city on Jan 26 and will begin looking for a rental apartment as soon as we get there.

We also plan to use this vehicle for our life and ministry when we return to Tokyo in early 2013 in order to launch Tokyo Multicultural Church.
