MAINE USA and JAPAN & ASIA

Dale & Ann are based at their house in Maine for 8-9 months/year and at their house in Japan for 3-4 months/year. They travel from Maine to Japan three times a year for 4-6 weeks at a time to carry out their ministries in Tokyo and Asia. The rest of the year they do so remotely.

During 2023-2024 Dale & Ann are also visiting their 22 supporting churches in Canada and the US.

TOKYO MULTICULTURAL CHURCH COACHING AND RECRUITMENT

In 2013 Dale & Ann launched Tokyo Multicultural Church in their apartment complex and have been leading the church since. Now remotely when in Maine and in-person when in Tokyo, they continue overseeing the church by recruiting, coaching, and encouraging TMC leaders. They also provide a financial subsidy for helping establish TMC through their ServeBeyond ministry expansion fund.

ASIA REGIONAL COORDINATING

Dale & Ann are ServeBeyond Asia Regional Coordinators, coming alongside, encouraging, and helping network ServeBeyond personnel and partners in Thailand, Philippines, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Japan. They typically travel to those countries annually, usually during the months they are based in Japan.

THEOLOGICAL EDUCATION

Dale is adjunct faculty at Japan Bible Seminary where he lectures in systematic theology (in Japanese). His modular classes every year are in June and October, two of the months the Littles are based in Japan.

He also publishes periodically on theological reflections about church planting.

From EFCCM to ServeBeyond

The EFCCM (Evangelical Free Church of Canada Mission) has rebranded as “ServeBeyond,” the new name for the international ministry of the Evangelical Free Church of Canada. So ServeBeyond’s website is now efcc.ca/servebeyond. And Dale’s website for the Asia region of ServeBeyond is now servebeyond.asia.
