nishijin fukuoka Starting something new

Well, it has been a while since I updated the blog. I have been trying various ones to see which I like. They each have a unique flare, but I think I have decided on the Blogger and connect it to my Facebook. We'll see how it works.

And now on to the other new things. We started a community center in Fukuoka, Japan called the Friendship Center. We have begun English Classes as well as Scrapbooking and other events as well. It has been a slow but good start. We had our first Coffee and Chat. See picture:)

We also had our first Travel English class and are looking into what we will do this summer. This has been a lot of work and time consuming telephone calls, set up and maintenance as well as ministry. Please pray for this new idea as we get into a routine.

We are now also praying about when to start the House Church. This is a different kind of method of Church Planting that is gaining popularity in Asia and is just really starting here in Japan. So, we are pioneers in that sense. We are studying in the Bible what the Church is, what is it's structure and how it is done so that we model a Biblical model of the Church and not just our ideas of what we want. We will probably start in Sept after we move from our current location in Maebaru to where the Friendship Center is near Nishijin. Thanks for praying with us!!
