Dr. D.A. Carson, theologian and professor at Trinity Theological Seminary, came to Japan last week to teach a week-long course at our mission’s reformed seminary in Nagoya. On Saturday he taught a seminar in Tokyo about the relevance of the Gospel in Japan. Eric was able to attend that and said it was really great, very helpful and encouraging. On Sunday he came and preached at our church, Oyumino Christ’s Church with my dad translating. He preached about Psalm 40, and the ways that God is our help. Eric and I had the priviledge to ride along to drop him off at the airport that afternoon. We had a whole hour of our own private Q&A time with him 
It was really great. Dave Bryan and Megan Tongen, if you’re reading this, he had great things to say about both of you as students and sent his regards to each of you.
Eric and I were particularly excited to meet him because we have both been blessed by and so enjoyed his books, For the Love of God (volumes 1 and 2). They are devotional companions that give short commentary on the M’Cheyne Bible reading program. These books have been a great help to us in our quiet times and we would reccomend them to anyone to pick up and enjoy. You can also subscribe to the daily readings at christwaymedia.com.
