Catching up again from our busy last week in Japan (in January) here is a photo from our last Sunday at
Oyumino Alive Church that we have been working with the past 2 years. Oyumino Alive is a new church-plant of
Oyumino Christ Church (PCJ) that was the first mission church established by our team over 15 years ago.
We have a diverse congregation primarily composed of Japanese, but also including Filipino, Korean, African, and American members. Our Sunday morning worship is bilingual (Japanese & English) and has attracted a number of Japanese families with overseas experience.
The last 2 Sundays in Japan, church members stayed after to make special hand-made gifts for our supporters in America. We were blessed by their efforts - plus we had lots of fun fellowshipping together.
We had a community dinner at the church building our last night and we were blessed to have some of our non-Christian Japanese friends join in - and get to know the local community of Japanese believers as well!
I had the opportunity to share about God's faithfulness to us in our trials, and the hope that we have in Christ! It was such a special night together with these dear friends. May God Continue to bless and guide Oyumino Alive Church ... for His Glory!
