Dear <<First Name>>,
The exciting thing about the Fall season is knowing that Christmas is fast approaching. One of the songs we are singing says: "Winter is here, Christmas is coming... Winter is here, heaven and nature sing!" 

I mentioned in the last update about Asia 2020 Congress. The very first large gathering of Asians for Asia evangelical organizations with the purpose: to see a church and missions movement emerge from our unique Asian context. There were 2 one-off projects I was involved in.

It is finally available for the public to watch... You MUST watch this video. Asia 2022 The Blessing Video A first Asians for Asia top professional artists, musicians, and dancers performing this beautiful song. 

The other project was a webinar on Church planting and multiplication. I was asked to represent Japan and share the principles in contextual and innovative approaches I have been using in Japan. This was broadcast last Aug 23. You can watch the 20 min version webinar. Or watch the full 90 minute broadcast (starting at 19:15... Q&A at 54:00)
Gospel Concerts in Full Swing...
Even though we are masked and observing Covid protocols (typical for Japan), the good news is that 90% of all choirs are meeting up again. There is so much joy in all the choirs that gather to learn and sing gospel songs. 

Concerts are also coming back in full swing. Please pray that the 80% of about 1,000 choir members who are not-yet Christian will really be able to experience the real meaning of Christmas.

Passing on the baton...

Our mission continues to grow with new missionaries. We have increased from 20 to 60 missionaries in the last 4 years. We are also growing biologically with new babies being born. 

It is also important to have good transitions from the veteran to the new generation of missionaries. During our last all mission day of business meeting, we witnessed Janet Brown, 39 years of service in Japan, pass the baton to Addison and Abigail Zody who will be the next Short Term Missionary Coordinators. 

As Field Leader, pray that I can mentor the next generation. And that I can be intentional about future transitions. 

I praise the Lord for your continued interest, prayers, and support! Merry Christmas.... 

Ken Taylor
