Stephen was born in Tokyo, a third generation missionary in Japan. Sarah was born in Nashville. They met while attending Covenant Seminary and were married in 1977 after Sarah
received a Counseling degree. Stephen graduated from Covenant College and received his M. Div. from Covenant Seminary. He completed a one-year missionary internship in japan and spent one year in Indiana
as an organizing pastor. Sarah graduated from Wellesley College, majoring in Philosophy.
The Youngs finished two terms of church planting work in Japan under World Presbyterian
Missions and MTW. From September 1987 the Youngs were on loan to Mission to North America, working with the Westminster Japanese Church in Atlanta.
In January 1991, the Youngs
went to Melbourne, Australia to begin a Japanese language church in cooperation with the Presbyterian Church of Victoria. They also established bridges between the Presbyterian Church of Australia and
the Presbyterian Church in Japan. This was accomplished in December 1999. The mission for 2001 is to establish a similar Japanese ministry in Perth, Western Australia.

Prayer:
1) Difficulty leaving children, Stephanie and Eric, behind. Eric has never been
separated from us before, but we feel the separation will be good preparation for
student life at a large state university. Pray for His watchcare and protection.
2) Difficulty getting Australian Christian volunteers to help teach conversational
English and be a friend to young adults. If any of you would like to help, for a year
or two, contact MTW.
