Stephen and Kristal McCranie and their baby girl are currently raising support to go to Nagoya, Japan to help start a school for the children of MTW missionaries and local Christian families. Nagoya is one of the most unchurched cities in one of the most unchurched nations in the world. Starting a school in Nagoya will give missionary families education options that will allow them to stay longer in the area, thereby building the essential long-term relationships that are characteristically necessary to bring a Japanese person to Christ.

Stephen is a cartoonist, and Kristal is a high school English teacher. While Stephen works full-time to support the family, Kristal will be teaching part-time at the school. Funds raised will go towards paying Kristal's teaching salary, which in turn will help pay for childcare for their daughter. Stephen and Kristal's stated ambition is for people to know that it is by grace we are saved. Thank you so much for your prayers and support!
