Final team meeting in Taka

On the front porch of Keiko's business. Blessing on this building all the leaders in it. Keiko's dad built it. Her husband Katsuhiko runs it. Her son, Nau is being groomed to take it over. May Keiko be a strong mother to bless Nau's reign.

This porch has provided free internet, a place to get away, a place for conversations, a place for friendships to grow.

Thank you God for providing this porch & your children inside this building.

We pray this always be a blessed place & blessed family business.

Amen.

Note from Misaki

I met Misaki when I was teaching a "mommy and me" class for Zion church. Her husband is from Brazil and is a Christian. He really wants her to be a Christian.  She is interested in it but it is hard to go against her Buddhist family. She asked to have a private bible study with me - after 3 -/2 hours of talking she said she really understood why I am a Christian and she is closer to becoming one. 

She came to our going away dinner last night and this is the nice email I received from her today:

thank u for last night.we were enjoyed very much.yummy dinner and fun talking.

i had been thinking that all of good relationship starts "by chance", but it was wrong.they all starts by the grace of god.now i feel so because of u and ur family.


Misaki, her daughter Jessica:) and me!  (First Jessica I have met in Japan!)
