We are excited to be finally supporting our MTW Church-Planting Team directly, now that we've finished language school. For the next 2 years, we will be serving with "
Oyumino Alive!" a new bilingual church plant of
Oyumino Presbyterian Church that is only a 12 minute walk from our
home.
Oyumino Alive! is using the original multi-purpose building built by our team ~15 years ago to reach young Japanese, as well as internationals in our community. This will be a great opportunity for us to get immediately involved in serving and learning in the context of a growing church plant. This will also be great experience for us since
our work in college ministry will always be done to support the greater vision of church planting and church multiplication in Japan.
Here you see Olivia joining in the 9am neighborhood kids oriented Sunday school class.
Being bilingual provides constant reinforcement of our language learning, and I look forward to helping lead worship and singing in both languages (and eventually to help translate from Japanese to English during the services.)

I enjoyed worshiping with your church when I was there last month. I am sorry that I was only briefly able to meet you, but you had more important things to do (with the new baby).
I will pray for the work there and hopefully will see you all when I visit again.
