Roger and Abi Lowther share that this past year has been the hardest by far for pastors and missionaries with health, family, finances, stress, and fatigue, but also the most fruitful. The church had eleven baptisms and restored many broken relationships. They received their permanent residence status after 13 years. Son Aiden transferred to an international school to keep up with his English, while the other three sons continue in Japanese schools. Pray for the Lowther family and their artistic ministry.
