Bruce Lyman
I am Bruce Lyman from Akron, OH, the “Rubber Capital” is the universe as some like to call it and home . . . over the years . . . to Goodyear, Firestone, about 20 others including Bridgestone.
I have been directing a local church ESL ministry for 4.5 years and we normally have about 60-70 students on campuses, 25% of which are Japanese. Most are wives or moms of Bridgestone engineers here for 2-4 years. Some of the husbands do attend our advanced classes.
Since we now have about 10 families who have returned to Japan and 2 of those Moms have been attending Bible studies and have developed some very strong connections with our teaching staff . . . I figured it is high time I learn all I can so we can become much more intentional communicating the Gospel before the next group goes home.
