Some
of our favorite websites:
 Some
of the coolest people we know are fellow missionaries in (or for
the sake of) Japan!
check out these websites:
Jeff and Nozomi Johnston with Asian Access are in L.A. now but praying
about an upcoming move to Japan- we can't wait for Zack and Ellie
to play with Owen. Check them out at: http://home.earthlink.net/~jeffnzomi
Peter and Wendi Thomson are our ministry partners in Sanda. You'll love their website!

Andy
and Hitomi Gray, living in Higashi Kurume, Japan and serving with Church
Resource Ministries. Check them and their darling 3 daughters
out at: www.globalcompassion.com/grays.htm
Chris
and Michael Mason, living in Osaka, Japan, and serving with JEMS...if
you look at their website, you may see their son Luke wearing some
clothes he's since passed on to Owen:

Jan and Chuck Burwell, serving in Yamaguchi, Japan with Christar
Ministries. I first met them before they had come to Japan,
and knew zero Japanese. Now they are seeing God do marvelous
things through the churches they have planted and Chuck's leadership
with their mission: http://www.burwellfamily.com
Have
you seen the AsianAccess website? There's information
on how you can be part of the team here in Japan, and some fun culture
quizzes throughout ...www.asianaccess.org
Here's some other organizations that we're sort of partial towards:

the adoption agency in Japan we used to adopt Owen. Their
goal is to place children who need good homes in Christian families
in Japan. http://www.ywamjapan.org/Mercy.htm
