DAN & APRIL MCKEE, Encompass World Partners, Japan After a long and challenging period of preparation, the McKees are at the 85% support level and are hoping to leave for Japan in the summer of 2019. Their goal is to min-ister thru wilderness activities and adventure sports in an

atmosphere similar to a Christian camp, seeking to evangelize and dis-ciple those who are attending. Their area of ministry is planned to be in the Japanese Alps, not far from where the Junker family has served. In the coming months, Dan and April will be attending a language acquisi-tion class, followed by a five week cross cultural training course during the summer. Dan grew up at GCC; he and April are regularly among us along with their son Lincoln. They are available to visit your Sunday School class and share plans for future ministry in Japan. Pray for them as they are preparing their hearts and minds for ministry and as they seek to raise their support level to 100%

Please note your prayer requests on today’s Connection Card. Also, remember to tell us how God answers.
