God sent approximately 40 local people, including their 14 children, to our Bridge International Café on November 15th! Six first-time attendees were there. The theme was Thanksgiving. In Japan, we don’t have Thanksgiving Day. Therefore, we decided to make the event an opportunity for the participants to express gratitude in…

What an opportunity it was! Eri and I were privileged to join a missions conference hosted by Westminster PCA in Jacksonville, Florida, from October 10th to 12th. We did not expect to fly back to Jacksonville at all when we were there in the fall last year. Roughly 100 to…

Eri and I spent three days this week with our team, the Chiba AO Team, in Kujyukuri, Chiba. We focused on team building, resting, playing, and praying together. You can see the Pacific Ocean behind us. It was beautiful. The hotel we stayed at was located alongside the ocean, so…

It took us a month to finish furnishing our living room! We purchased most of the furniture online, assembled each piece after it was brought to our place, and put the national flags of many countries on the front door, forming “B.I.,” i.e., Bridge International, with them. Our townhouse is…

I made a new flyer for my English conversation club today. I now have a group of 20 people who regularly participate in my club. I hope that more local people join it so that I could get to know them and love them!
