Today, we will be chatting with Grant Buchholtz. Grant and Miho Buchholtz serve as missionaries at Evangelical Covenant Church and pastors at Tokyo Life Church in Ikebukuro. In this episode, Grant talks about the blessings and challenges of being on home assignment back in the US. He talks about helping his kids navigate the challenges of being put back in school in the American system and the perks of having this season back in America while missing their home church in Tokyo. Grant also talks about his journey of God calling him and Miho to ministry in Japan and planting a church in the heart of Tokyo. In this episode, we also talk about the enneagram and the importance of serving and ministry out of a place of knowing God's love for us.
