As you know, Japanese are deep in the hearts of the Yabukis. While we must focus on all international students in our ministry, Japanese are still special to us. God is working in the metroplex with japanese. Here are two examples…

• Roy received a call from a woman who wanted to start a equipping conference for people ministering to Japanese. This turned into a lenghtly conversation which turned into a two lunch interviews about her joining ISI staff. She is a gifted and passionate woman who has a long track record in corporate America and entrepreneurship. She seems perfect to spearhead some of our technology initiatives and special ministry to Japanese.
• Roy & Ron met with a couple from Arlington Park Baptist Church to start a english partner relationship with three Japanese students. This couple and these students seem to hit it off. Roy had the special opportunity to help out with this ministry as a substitute teacher
