New friends

Living in Tokyo is a different world than Hokkaido. My daily activities don't naturally find me around people my age, much less Christians my age. Fortunately our career missionaries encourage those of us on short-term assignments to attend an English worship service once a month. It didn't take long for me to decide on the Jesus Lifehouse church; a committed, energetic church made up of mostly young people. It's been great to meet them and make some new friends as well as learn from their ministry and how they work. A great reminder that God truly cares about ALL our needs.


We had dinner last night with about 15 people-mostly Japanese people, several Australians, and one American (me). (Maybe half are Believers) You can't tell very well in the picture, but this house is huge.


Ok, apparently there's a national rubix cube contest in Japan. Who knew? The guy on the right is the second place winner and he actually owns about 30 rubix cubes.


(Left to right: Takahiro, Luke, Bec) I attend Bec's cell group once a week and have already learned a lot from her. She's very supportive and encouraging. Once again, the picture doesn't show it so well....but can you see just a bit of how big this house is? (If you've ever lived in Japan you probably can) A house like this can serve a number of different purposes and it seems to me that we Free Will Baptists ought to invest in something similar...anyone on board for raising some money?
