Last Sunday, Oyumino Christ Church (which normally meets in 3 locations) gathered together for year-end Joint Worship with over 200 people in attendance! The service included the public profession of faith and adult baptism of a young couple, the covenant baptism of their two kids, the infant baptism of 3 other babies (including Calvin), and the transfer membership of another young couple. What a celebration!
Our MTW Team Leader and pastor, Dan Iverson, baptized Calvin ... in Japanese!
Here is Calvin with the other two "men" who were baptized. Mr. I and his 4 year old son.
Here is Calvin with our Japanese pastor,
Dedachi-san and his daughter Seira (same pronunciation as Sarah in Japanese) who was also baptized.
Here is Calvin with his little friend Martha, daughter of another missionary family
the Nolls.
