-Hebrews 10:24-25 NIV-“And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching.” This verse in Hebrews completely encapsulates an important sentiment that Paul was ushering…
On a bright and sunny Saturday morning, we gathered at our church and assembled 70 lunch boxes for the homeless of Nishinari! These were not just any simple lunch boxes either!

I was invited by a dear couple in the Lord, the Majima’s, to share my testimony with the college students from Kinki University in Osaka during their Saturday night Bible club!

God has called me to serve overseas in Japan, and consistently for the past 3 years, by the grace of God alone, that is what I have been commissioned to and doing! However, I’m now here to say this today: I cannot do this without your help. To serve on a mission takes a team…
