I ventured out on my second day to find Mustard Seed Church, a three year old bilingual. Congregation. It was so good to worship in Japan, and to sing praises in Japanese, even if. It was just singing sounds that are mostly unintelligible to me right now! I will be involved. At Mustard Seed as much as possible until the GIC team is able to launch a church plant in a year or two. Thank you to ...

Proclaiming the Risen Son in the Land of the Rising Sun: Reflecting on my Travel in Western Japan
http://brentkooi.blogspot.com/2011/08/reflecting-on-my-travel-in-western.html
Wednesday, August 24, 2011. Reflecting on my Travel in Western Japan. Why Kyoto and Hiroshima?

Classes started January 13, and I am in the "J1" class, the lowest level.

But class was actually difficult the very first day! However, I was reminded recently that it doesn...

Tuesday, March 15, 2011. Japan Relief Work - Report from Dan Iverson. Dear Family and friends,. People were so desperate for water that when we ran out, they wanted the not-so-clean spill-over can water. It was very sad to run-out with people still coming with plastic bags and trash cans and anything they could bring to get water. I could not help but think:. May the Japanese people come to thirst like this spiritually, and be this desperate seeking Living Water (Isa. 55:1-2; John 4). Youve probably hear...
