A BREAK AND FUN WITH JUNIOR HIGHERS

Beloved Family,
It's been fairly quiet since our busy Sunday at Tama Hillside.  We had a chance to catch our breaths and start plans for the American Worship Service and lunch this Sunday.

PLANNING FOR SUNDAY.  LOOKS LIKE STAN
IS INTO ANOTHER POWER NAP

We're  hoping that many of the guests at the JOY Club Christmas Party will accept the invitation to join us at church on Sunday. We'll be doing a Crossway/South Bay type of service followed by a "Thanksgiving" lunch with all of the fix'ins......minus the turkey.   We'll be eating well and sharing in some good old fun and games.  Please pray that God will open the hearts of the JOY Club families and cause them to thirst for the truth that awaits them. Thank you.

Last night, we were graciously received by Mr. and Mrs. Saito (parents of Miho) who treated the team to a extravagant dinner.  We were humbled by their extreme generosity.  At the same time, we celebrated the birthdays of Miho, Michael and Yuriko.  This is the 3rd straight year that we've celebrated Thanksgiving and their birthdays in Japan.  It was a blessed time with these two very special people.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MIKE

             

HAPPY BIRTHDAY YURIKO

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MIHO

MR. AND MRS. SAITO'S GENEROSITY

Tonight, the team had some great fun with 5 junior high students.  Our job was to help them with their English.  They are learning well, but are so shy.  English will build their confidence.  It was a blessed time.

Tomorrow (Thurs), we'll be going in various directions to take advantage of a day off and meet up with friends in the Tokyo area.  With the cancellation of the outreach to the Shinagawa Church which was set for Saturday, we'll have some extra time to deliver a good service and well prepared lunch and program for our new comers on Sunday.  Therefore, please expect the next blog entry on Sunday evening.  We'll be cleaning up on Monday and heading home that evening.  So there is more to come.

Thank you, again, for your faithful support.  We thank the Lord for providing for our every need and give him all the praise for you and for our mission here in Machida. May the Lord fill your cups with joy and abundance.

And we will praise Him,
Your Machida Team.
