Dear Friends,

As many of you know, after serving for 15 years in Southeast Asia, we are now starting a new journey serving the Lord as missionaries in Japan. We have the special opportunity to purchase a home in a community where we can lay down roots and be salt and light for Christ. The house that we have found is the right size to meet our family's needs, is a great distance by train from the girls' school, and is located in a desirable community for young families. After exploring this region looking for a home the last 3 months, we believe that God has led us to this location.

Update:

We have officially moved into this home as of the second week of March and are absolutely thrilled. The house needs some work, but we have found creative ways to make it comfortable in the meantime. We are very blessed and privileged, not only to be in this great home, but also to set roots in this welcoming community.

Would you consider partnering with us to turn this opportunity into a reality? At this point we are looking to raise an additional $12,000. Any additional gifts given beyond this target would allow us to make some additional home renovations to be set up well.

Thank you for your consideration and generosity!

The Hicks Family
