    I mentioned to Judy Henske that I wasn't surprised.  Sadly when we left in 95 I felt that there was an undercurrent that things were going downhill.  I wondered if you knew Denise.  That is awesome about Scot getting married.  Is Denise still in Japan?  I do miss Japan, but God has set us up in ministry in the public school system and also at our local church.  I will be praying for you and hope things work out for KNU.  We were able to visit it while we were in Japan.

    PastorMarkIce - When the time is right (my message was cut off) we know God will bring us back, and that he will open another Nazarene College here.  Thank you for contacting me.  May the LORD bless you today!

    I know who you are, PastorMarkIce:  Denise Morris, who happens to go to the same church as I do in the USA, told me much about you (as has Scot Hill; we go to his Saturday Night Bible Study in Yotsukaido, and he was married in 2006), and Denise and I taught together at JCJC for a semester when I first came.  Yes, JCJC is done, the old property is history, having been sold off by Rev. Aoki and the rijikai, and all the buildings -- save Gakuen Church's place -- have all been leveled, and all the property sold off.  A real shame, it is, and I have had a lot of misgivings about the General Church ever since.  We, too, pray, and we know, that god will open another Nazarene School here.  My wife and I are planning on going to Korea (my wife is Korean), where I hope to get a position at Korea Nazarene University.  When the time is rght, an

    I was looking at your sight.  My wife and I taught at JCJC from 91-95  We just heard at general assembly it is no longer and they are even tearing down the school.  It is sad to think that door has closed, but I hope and pray another will be opened in Japan for both yourself and the thousands of students that have passed through JCJC.  Mark Ice

    Haven't talked to you in a while. I want to know what's new with J&J. Please send me an email update so that your family in Chicago can stay in touch with you and will know how to continually pray for you.


    Eternally, Liz'Beth

    Hi Jason.  Thought I would just drop a line to offer a "thank you" for the ministry you do in His name.


    I pray He blesses you in all you are doing to further His glory.


    I was in Japan for three short years while in the Air Force.  My wife was from Tokyo and we were in Misawa.  I really have missed the country and people for the most part.

    My High School Football Coach, Frank Conyers, died last Thursday. He was 70 years old, and he'd served in Jessamine County for nearly 40 years. He was a demanding coach who wanted nothing less than excellence, and got it, at least from five of his teams he coached. His record from 1986-1989 was 3

    Salvaging a play-off berth after a horrid, 0-3 start to our football season my Senior Year is a memory I won't forget soon. w E got trashed in the first game of the season 51-8.

    I've remembered my time in High School football often, I guess mostly bwecause my head coach in high school passed away last week. At any rate, on Senior Night, we lost to Scott County 9-0, and I remember their fullback quite well, in that we kept butting heads all night, and he pretty-much ran me
