The Harrington Family
Harrington Family Ministry Update January 2015
When a job at Nestle brought Leanne and me to Cleveland eight and a half years ago, we were true transplants. Despite having no family in the area (and knowing little about its lake effect snow!), our years here have been incredible.The Lord has being working in our lives throughout these years to help get us to this point of leaving for fulltime ministry in Japan.
You, Parkside Church, have been a key tool God has used to lead us in this direction. Now, as the date of our departure is drawing near, we feel as though we are leaving family. You have become our Cleveland family. This leaving process has been emotionally difficult, but God has been lovingly walking us through each phase. Thank you for your many prayers!
The first couple years in Japan will be made up of language and cultural learning, as well as developing meaningful relationships in our community. Thankfully we will be joining a team of missionaries who have already been in Japan for many years. We are blessed to be teaming up with a group of missionaries with so much ministry experience.
Our prayer is to glorify God by making Him known in a country where so few have had the opportunity to hear. As we look forward to our departure, we are comforted by the fact that God is going with us and is already at work in Japan.
