Fall 2024 Newsletter
God had done so many incredible things at TICA this Fall! Here
are some of the highlights from the last few months.
“After this I looked, and there before me was a great multitude that no one could count, from every nation, tribe, people and language, standing before the throne and before the Lamb.” - Revelation 7:9
Joining the JSL Circle
At a fun outing with the JSL Circle in October
Over the last few months, God has opened some amazing doors for us to connect with the local Deaf community! In August, we joined a Japanese Sign Language Circle group, and in September, Lauren preached for the first time at TICA using American Sign Language. Recently, we even received an invitation to visit Tsukuba University of Technology for the Deaf and sit in on some of their English classes. Several of our friends from the JSL Circle have also said they want to visit TICA for our big Christmas service! Our church is so excited about launching a Deaf ministry in the future, and we’re hoping to start offering interpreted services next year. Would you pray with us as we continue to learn Japanese Sign Language and reach out to the Deaf community in Tsukuba?
Fall 2024 Interns
From left to right: Chelsea (career missionary), Lauren, Clarivel and Micah (MAPS), Savannah (MAPS), David, Daniel (study-abroad), Nick (MAPS)
At TICA, we host many interns, short-term teams, and study-abroad students throughout the year. We’ve had over 30 short-term workers serve with us since March. Several of them are praying about joining our team for the long-term. Would you join us in prayer that God would call many to dedicate their lives to the mission-field here in Japan? If you’re interested in serving with us on a short-term trip, please send us an email at PerdansToJapan@gmail.com, or fill out our missions trip interest application by clicking the button below.

Parking Lot Project (praise report and update)
Praise God, our church is growing! On Easter, we had over 200 people attend TICA, and we broke that record in November when over 230 people came to our Thanksgiving outreach. We’re expecting even more people for Christmas, however, we’re rapidly running out of parking spaces. God has opened the door for us to purchase a plot of land across the street from the church we can use for parking, and even build on in the future. If you’re interested in partnering with us for this project, please email Chris.Carter@ticateds.org.
