Good times

I've had the opportunity to start singing with some of the Gospel Choirs in the Tokyo area and it's a blast! Ken Taylor is a missionary with TEAM and he is the director of a large network of Gospel Choirs, several hundred of them. The choirs all practice separately, with anywhere from 10 to 30 members, then come together periodically for a joint concert. Usually about 200 people participate. It's amazing to watch so many Japanese people (mostly non-believers) singing, and learning, about God's grace and involvement in our lives. I told Ken once that I wouldn't be able to make it on a certain night because I was getting ready to go out of town and was a bit stressed out. His answer was 'Bethany if you're stressed out you ought to come. This will be your stress reliever.' Well, I didn't go that night and later realized he was right.





Our joint concert is on June 18th and I'm really looking forward to it. I've met some really neat people through this.
