Our Pastor's family

It has been such a pleasure to partner with our pastor, Dedachi-san, at Oyumino Alive Church. Usually, one of the two of us leads worship, with the other one translating into either English or Japanese. We're far from perfect translators, but we have lots of fun trying!
We had the opportunity to have Dedachi-san's 5 kids over for an evening so he and his lovely wife get out for a much needed dinner date (before #6 is born!)
Sarah helped the kids make chocolate chip cookies. They really got into it, and it gave them something to take home, too. :)

Dedachi-san is quite an experienced Dad, and he showed off some of his tricks on how to make babies laugh!
Please pray for their family as they prepare for the joy AND busyness of a new addition. Pray that God would give Dedachi-san energy, balance, wisdom, and grace as he continues his many roles at Oyumino Alive and serves his wife and family.
