Sundays in the Park

Sunday June 6

Oh I how I enjoy Sundays in Tokyo! We meet with our M at the park by his house. The park is huge! We meet at a pavilion where we share what has happened that week, worship, he teaches, then we pray in our ministry groups. Just being there is a great ministry. People stand around, watch, listen, and some come and ask what is going on. We had an older man join us along with a young family. Children also like to come and look at the Westerners. Today we had a music team from a baptist college in California come and join us. They are going around Japan for three weeks singing at Universities. In Japan, they really like gospel music, even though the do not believe in the words. The music team gives us awesome opportunities to go to Universities and meet people that we can invest in over the summer. Also joining us today is a group of women from Kentucky who are going to give American cooking lessons to Japanese moms. They are really sweet and what they are doing is an awesome ministry. After lunch, we play a massive game of capture the flag. Our hope is that some Japanese will join us. Today, since we had a group from California, we played Texas vs. California. Unfortunately California won.
