Dear friends in Christ,

With deep gratitude, I write to thank you for your faithful support, prayers, and encouragement over the years as you have read my mission letters and walked alongside me on my journey of service. Your steadfast commitment to God’s work and your interest in my ministry have been a source of great strength and blessing.

Though this transition marks a change in my official designation, I remain deeply connected to the United Church of Christ Japan (Kyodan) and the PC(USA) for the work of building bridges across faith, education, and service

And walk humbly with God.

Here is my new email address: thomas.goetz@protestant.com.

Your prayers and support have meant the world to me, and I ask that you continue to pray for the work God is doing here. May we remain united in faith, love, and service, always seeking God’s presence in our shared journey.

Thank you, and may God bless you abundantly.

Ubi caritas et amor, Deus ibi est.
"Where there is caring and love, God is always there."

In gratitude and faith,
