  • Albright Japan Trip – Oct 10 ’17

    This is the twenty-first consecutive year we’ve ministered in Japan. This year was special in that we made two trips (April 24–June 23; August 14-October 11). The purpose of these trips is to share lessons to help build up the church and to encourage Christians and churches. One of the first things we do upon…

  • Albright Japan Trip – June 20 ’17

    As I begin writing this report, we are three days away from leaving. I’ve delayed writing this because of our schedule of activities, but must finally put an account of the last six weeks of activity. Josephine and I took an overnight trip to Kamakura and Enoshima. This was the location of government in Japan…

    Worship with Matsudo Church of Christ / Funeral This past Sunday (May 7) we worshiped with the Matsudo church of Christ. We went by train which took about two hours one way. Since this was the end of Golden Week (three consecutive holidays plus a weekend), the numbers were down. But we gathered around the…

    Hitachi Christian Camp – Spring 2017 We returned last Friday night (May 5) after three days and two nights at the Hitachi Christian Camp (HCC). This was its 62nd year of operation.

    First Weekend Spring Trip 2017 Our first weekend in Japan was such a blessing. It began Saturday morning as we loaded into a van with four members of the Tachikawa congregation. The trip from Tachikawa (Tokyo) to Ibaraki Christian University in Omika (Ibaraki) was about 80 miles. It took us about three and a half…

  • Albright Japan Trip – Oct 27 ’16

    We’re coming up on eleven weeks in Japan and this is only the second report. It will also be the last for this trip. All I can say in defense is that it has been a busy trip. “Eating the elephant” has been the theme for our time here. With a heavier than usual teaching…

  • Albright Japan Trip – Aug 25 ’16

    As I write this (morning of August 25) we are coming up on one week in Japan. It has been a very productive and enjoyable week. When we stepped out of the airport in Narita, Chiba, Friday August 19, we were greeted with cooler temps than expected. Cooler being in the mid to upper 80’s with 70+%…

  • Albright Japan Rpt – Oct 4 ’15

    This will be our final report for our 2015 trip. August 4, when we arrived, seems a distant past. The weather was hot and humid with long days. Now we are in cooler temps and the sun is further south. It has been a very good trip and we have been blessed in many ways.…

  • Albright Japan Rpt – Sep 20 ’15

    This report is being written the day before we return. The past five weeks have been filled with activity giving little time for reporting. The main event during this reporting period is the visit of a deacon and his wife, Gordon and Patricia Corder, from the Park Avenue church of Christ in Memphis. This is…

  • Albright Japan Rpt – Sep 1 ’15

    Another two weeks have passed. The big event during this time was the Ochanomizu church’s Hakone Bible Camp. The word “camp” is probably a misnomer as it is held in a very nice hotel near Hakone with excellent meals. The theme for the camp as well as for the year is unity taken from Ephesians…
