GO Partner Highlight
Chen Family
Please pray for Charlie and Yumiko Chen, who have been faithfully serving in Japan since April 2017. They are seeking to start a Christian all-English Kindergarten and as they begin this journey, they are facing hurdles and government red tape, but know and believe they can do all things through Him who strengthens them. Continue to pray for the Chens and their ministry in Japan.
