A hand that can’t help
Saturday, April 5th, 2008In Ibaragi prefecture about two hours from Tokyo there is a huge “goddess of mercy” that can be seen from miles around.

Hindered
Sunday, February 3rd, 2008On this cold February Sunday afternoon as I write this it is snowing outside. It is a time of colds, flu, etc. For A-san who has a cold, it is also a time of job aplications and interviews.

Another Gift
Friday, January 11th, 2008Since the last post, all of the churches in Togane have celebrated Christmas. Lost people heard the gospel for the first time. Not all of those who indicated they would attend Christmas worship did so. That was a disappointment to the Christians who wanted their friends to hear the real meaning of Christmas. Pray for the […]
Celebrating
Saturday, December 22nd, 2007There are many in Togane and Okinawa who are celebrating Christmas as God’s children for the first time.
