Thank you, President Bush, for sending us congratulations on our 50th wedding anniversary and for 50 years of missionary work in Japan. It has meant a lot.

In my lifetime I would love to have had one of my four special sons be president of the United States, but there is always one problem with each of them: on their birth certificates for "Place of Birth" it says, "Japan." We we always knew they could strive for any work or office, but never for President!

I've never written a political letter in my 57 years in Japan, but on my 80th birthday, October 30th, I can't believe that in 6 days we will vote for a would-be president, one who paid a million dollars to a politician in Kenya to seal his birth certificate, even though his Kenya grandmother saw him born in Mobasa, Kenya at the Coast Province Hospital. Recently he went to Hawaii to supposedly see his ailing grandmother. According to World Net Daily, he paid another bribe to seal his false birth certificate in Hawaii. Even Kissinger couldn't be president because he was not born in America. Japanese say, "Kusa mono futa o suru"--(cover up a smelly thing.)

Please use your executive power to unseal his Kenya birth certificate and phoney Hawaii Notice of Birth in the Honolulu Advertiser. We pray that Almighty God will intervene. And don't forget to read our fourth son Mark's book called "Sarah Barracuda," available now on Amazon.com.

Cordially yours,

Now to you, dear friend,

We recently sent the above letter to President Bush and want to share it with you.

Please pray for our book "Japan: The country of the Erased Bible," published by Tokuma. It is now in pocketbook size and half the price of the earlier one, available at all l4,000 regular bookstores. Ask for Kakusareta Seisho no Kuni: Nihon." Y648..

We were honored recently to speak to over 70 youth about Japan's first missionaries coming from Assyria in 199 A.D. I didn't know who these young people were, but we made friends by asking "Who wants to get married" and every girl raised her hand! I was given 70 minutes to get the Gospel to them and found them very receptive. I had to sign 50 books!

Then, our oldest son Ken, who was in Washington, D.C. trying to get a province for our Assyrian Christians in Ninevah, asked me to lead the 40 members on the Christian Martyrs' bus tour in Tokyo, using my book, "Jizo and Jesus" as a guide. It will be reprinted and re-named "Japan's Christian Roots."

Thanks for praying for us...Lila does triple duty as housewife, office secretary, teacher/counselor and you name it. Church in our home is an added responsibility, but she loves it. Many of our people live alone, so times of fellowship and encouragement mean a lot. We're thankful for good health and always plenty to do.

God bless you richly.

Cordially yours,
Kenny Joseph
