Perdans to Japan
Summer 2025 Newsletter
Deaf events, English Camp, Perdan Family news and more! Here are some of the amazing things God has done so far in 2025.
“After this I looked, and there before me was a great multitude that no one could count, from every nation, tribe, people and language, standing before the throne and before the Lamb.” – Revelation 7:9
Deaf Events at TICA
In July, we had our first ever sign language exchange event at the church. We had a great turnout. People from our local sign language club, university students, and other Deaf friends attended. For many of them, this was their first time ever in a church. We also had another opportunity to join an English class at the local University for the Deaf where we met with over 40 students. Pray with us that through these relationships, we will be able to share the Gospel.
English Camp
In August we had our annual “English Camp” outreach. Many Japanese families are interested in exposing their children to English education during their summer break. We teach English through the Bible in a week-long VBS event. We want to send a big THANK YOU to the team from North Fairfield Assembly of God who helped us with both our Deaf outreach events and our English Camp this year. This year was our highest attendance; over 70 kids came for at least one day of camp, and 50+ were from families that do not attend church. We had several families come to church the following Sunday for the very first time. Pray with us that they would return and feel God’s presence and love at TICA.
Perdan Family News
God has expanded our church planting team by calling more missionaries… and growing our family! Join with us in prayer as we welcome the next team member (baby Perdan) arriving in February, 2026. We are so excited for this next journey as we become new parents, but there’s a lot of emotions that come with that as well, especially because we’re doing it in another country and navigating through the Japanese healthcare system. Please pray for a safe delivery and that God would give us wisdom and guidance as we prepare for our baby’s arrival.
Prayer Requests
Would you partner with us in prayer over the following needs and requests?
- For health, wisdom, and energy as we serve as interim lead pastors at TICA
- For many new families to hear the Gospel during our upcoming holiday outreach events
- For the new believers at TICA, and those who attend regularly but are still seeking
- That God would send more missionaries and raise up Japanese workers to join our church planting team
