From Leading to Advising at TMC
13 Sep 2024TMC
Dale is trying to transition from leading to advising at Tokyo Multicultural Church. Ann has already made the transition in her areas of responsibility. After this transition Dale & Ann would continue to connect with TMC in their role as ServeBeyond Regional Coordinators for Asia because TMC is a ServeBeyond project.
However, TMC’s current pastors cannot yet lead monthly Leadership Team meetings and quarterly Members’ Meetings, as well as provide general church oversight. Only one of them is gifted to take on that kind of leadership, and that would be too much for them. Nevertheless, one gifted couple is now interested in a full-time English ministries pastoral role at TMC.

Dale & Ann are well aware that guiding TMC through this important leadership transition is contingent upon their own good health and adequate financial income from their support team in Canada and the US.
