This year FIM had its Candidate Orientation Program June 11-16, 2023, with 12 missionaries. May we introduce those who participated in this year’s COP! Robert will serve alongside veteran missionaries Jon and Mitsue Mahar in several small Japanese churches and church-planting situations through regular service meetings and outreach to college students and youth. This will include preaching and team teaching (and designing) Bible studies as he learns to communicate the gospel in the Japanese language and culture.
