A year ago, TMC members called Matthew & Ai-Hua as full-time pastoral couple for TMC English ministries. They are missionary candidates with Operation Mobilization. However, they have been unable to raise adequate prayer and financial support in their home country of Malaysia. So they have indefinitely postponed their return to Japan. They are looking at other options for coming to Tokyo which may or may not include pastoral ministry at TMC.

We continue to pray Mt. 9:38 and Lk. 10:2 ("Ask the Lord of the harvest to send out workers into his harvest field.”) for both our English and Japanese ministries at TMC, whether part-time or full-time.
