  • 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…

  • Ray Rpt – May 21 ’15

    It has been a long time since I have written, again. We have been very busy trying to get things done. Even after I had my heart worked on, I have not had enough energy or stamina to do many things. Keeping up with the church work has been hard. I will go in again…

    Hi, It is already February.  It has been quite cold, but very little snow.  During the day, it has been around 40, but at night it gets to about 24.  It has been raining more this winter. We had our meeting in January and decided to try to hire Yasuki Nishimura as an intern preacher. …

    Hi, I hope this finds you all healthy and happy.  I am finally healthy after a long bout with the flu.  I was in bed most of the holidays.  Am very happy it is over.  I couldn’t get to the office to work on the computer so no news.  It has been a cold but…

  • Albright Japan Trip ’14 – Rpt 3

    We have completed four weeks of this ten week trip. The past two weeks involved one of the highlights of the trip, the Ochanomizu Bible Camp. When we use the word “camp” here, don’t think of tent or small rustic cabins. Rather think of a nice hotel perched between Mt. Fuji and the Suruga Bay…

  • Ray Rpt – Sep ’14

    Hi, I am sorry I have not written in so long.  We have been very busy, and I have not taken the time to write.  School just started and fall is just around the corner.  It was a hot summer.  Much of the summer the temperatures were in the 90’s with high humidity (90-100%).  There…

  • Albright Japan Trip ’13 – Rpt 2A

    Report 2A — October 16, 2013 Because of our busy schedule I’ve been unable to find the time to write a report since my last one, August 29. Almost seven weeks have passed since then so I’m going to break up this second report into manageable pieces. The classes at Ochanomizu and Tachikawa went well.…

  • Ray Rpt – Aug 27 ’13

    Hi everyone, The summer is almost gone and it is hot in Japan.  We were in Thailand nearly two weeks ago and, amazingly, it was cooler than here (because it is rainy season).  When we returned to Japan, it was suffocating.  It took a while to get used to it. This summer has gone by…

  • Ray Rpt – July 20 ’13

    Hitachi Christian Camp I have just got back to Tomobe to prepare a sermon for tomorrow (July 21). I spent a week at camp trying to get things ready for camp on Monday. There are no computers at camp and no telephone service for my cell phone. We are almost finished with the kitchen and…
