Japan's Cities, Towns & Villages
At Christmas each year especially, we are reminded that God has not forgotten us. As we think of Jesus’ birth we are reminded of how much He loves us—so much that He sent his son to live among us and die for us!!! We sing Immanuel and are reminded of His presence with us, today, [...]
This morning as we sat under the trees in the zoo section (quite an interesting place for worship) of a park, having worship with a new Christian and a missionary couple, I could not help but praise the Lord for the wonderful way He brought them together. It is an exciting story of how God [...]

At first he thought that Jesus spoke those words to everybody and what Jesus said in verse 5 was for him, too. [...]
Ka san arrived for worship before anybody else, so we prayed for Sushi san. Ka san prayed that no matter what might happen for the next couple of hours we would be glad, because God was in control. I was a little nervous about the worship, so listening to her saying that, I was ashamed [...]
Trips to visit family or kids sent off to visit grandparents. Companies closed down for the obon festival. Visits to the family graves. Families or friends going on vacations out of the country. Traffic snarled on the expressways for tens of miles. Beaches crowded so that it is standing room only. Hot and humid evenings [...]
