Japan CPI Conference

We attended the Japan Church Planting Institute for 4 days and had a wonderful experience. There were over 400 registered attenders - Missionaries, Japanese Pastors and Christian leaders. Many events were bilingual and was a great opportunity to see the broader evangelical church planting movement in Japan.
We attended Seminars by Josiah Bancroft , one of the developers of the "Sonship" spiritual renewal program with World Harvest Mission (pictured below) , and Larry Kirk , a pastor in Florida & professor at RTS Orlando. We both learned a lot, and were challenged to apply the gospel in our lives and ministry in authentic and fresh ways.

Olivia and Annabella joined in the kids program, and had so much fun with all the other kids. Here is Olivia at the final program.

The conference center we stayed at was near Hakone, with a beautiful view of Mount Fuji.
