The Penner Saga, Part Two

25 years ago today, we arrived in Japan as missionaries. Many of you have prayed for us and also supported us financially from the very beginning. Others of you have known us only recently and are not familiar with our story. As we think back, we want to say thank you for the many ways you’ve stood with...

US Trip

Thanks for praying for our U.S. trip. We come back to Japan rejoicing. All our children are finished with school. It’s the first time since 1983 that we’ve had no children in school. Both Andrew and Anna have jobs and are (or will soon be) getting used to a brand new environment. Also, Mary Esther’s...

Wondering

Pray for us. Challenges are coming from the most perplexing places. We had a conversation with a supporting church the other day that was almost surreal. We’re still trying to make sense of it. Please pray that there will be a breakthrough and we’ll be able to connect.

Quick Report

Thanks for praying. The women’s retreat was truly amazing. God used Mary Esther in totally unexpected ways. I hope she will have time to share some of the stories soon. During her time attending the Chiang Mai conference, God again showed His goodness in the timing and placing of people and events. We...

US Trip, news on kids, and why we come back so often

It was a little crazy as trips go, with several planes we had to run to catch, a couple hours in the back seat of a tiny plane right across from the bathroom that just about did Mary Esther in, and an incredibly obtuse TSA agent in Atlanta, but we survived all the same. But we got to see Anna in Japan...

Here and There

We've enjoyed having Anna here in Japan for the holidays. We're heading up north to see some of the places where she spent her early years, and will be at Yamagata Deaf Church on Sunday. After a few days back at home, we'll be flying to the U.S. January 3rd. We'll be a few days on the...

Pray for Y

Pray especially for Y today. If you remember, she is a Japanese Deaf person living and working in the large country west of us. She has a meeting with a group here in Japan that may be able to help her start a viable business in the country where she lives. Pray that she will be able to get a clear picture...

Church Planter's Institute

Last week we attended a 4 day Church Planters Institute conference near Mt. Fuji. Mary Esther made some contacts for the wheelchair project, but her main reason to attend was her role as part of the JEMA (Japan Evangelical Missionary Association) Member-Care Committee which set up a Consultation Center...
