Dear FCF Family,
This will be an adventurous mission trip to Japan as I will be 
joined by my two energetic daughters. We humbly ask for your 
prayer support as we take this step of faith.
In April, we were so blessed to be able to homestay two 
students from a high school in the Sendai region that was 
heavily damaged by the tsunami. During our time together, it 
gave us a greater understanding of their way of life in Japan 
and the cultural barriers that prevent them from experiencing 
the freedom found in Chirst. Needless to say, it put a deeper 
longing in our hearts to reach out and share the hope of Jesus 
to that country.
On July 27, 2011, we once again have the privilege of returning 
to Shizuo- ka, Japan. I will be assisting in designing a 
community center in church building and the girls will be 
helping with vacation bible school camp. We will also be doing 
outreach and sharing God’s message of love and hope through 
Shizuoka’s Matsuri festival This is the first time Hope 
International Fellowship will be able to do direct outreach 
with the people of Ja- pan and we have the opportunity to be 
a part of it.
We are very excited about this upcoming adventure and the plans 
that God has for our family. We humbly ask that you be praying 
for us as we seek to take every opportunity to share God’s love 
and message of hope with everyone we come in contact with. 
Also, please pray for our protection and health as we travel 
and engage in our ministries.

Love, Ryan, Tyra and Skylar
