A wonderful ride

Wednesday, April 30th, 2008

           
Today Tak and I went to Togane drove through the town and then took a wonderful ride out through the rice paddies.  We saw the carp flying beside the farm houses. We were able to share with people who were walking around the lake near the temples, with a couple who were visiting the graves, and […]

A hand that can’t help

Saturday, April 5th, 2008

In Ibaragi prefecture about two hours from Tokyo there is a huge “goddess of mercy” that can be seen from miles around.  The hand is extended as if offering help, but this stone god has hands that cannot help and ears that cannot hear. Also, no spirit to touch and heal a broken heart. 

Statues of […]

Niigata, on the Japan Sea side of Japan is one of the areas targeted by the JGPNetwork.  Surrounded by mountains on the east and the sea on the north-west, the snow covers the ground for much of winter. It is a city where no missionary resides. However, through the perseverance of a […]

Hindered

Sunday, February 3rd, 2008

On 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.
Since A-san was baptized the third week in January either job application appointments, interview practices, or sickness has hindered getting together […]

The Joy of Following

Monday, January 21st, 2008

Thank you so much for praying for A-san since last month. After spending the holidays in her home town, she returned to Tokyo.
Sunday your prayers were answered and it was a great day. A-san followed the Lord in believer’s baptism before the worhship. After a great time of fellowship and a very meaningful worship, she […]

Another Gift

Friday, January 11th, 2008

Since 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, 2007

There are many in Togane and Okinawa who are celebrating Christmas as God’s children for the first time. As they remember his wonderful gift of salvation, pray for them to also commit themselves to be lights to those who live in darkness and do not know the meaning of Christmas.
Homeless men, elderly ladies, college students, […]
