Homeless Outreach

The Sunday following Thanksgiving, we got together at the church and made meals for the homeless in our city. I was so blessed that so many came out to give a helping hand. When Paul began his ministry, the church leaders told him to remember the poor...

A solid group of folks came out Sunday afternoon just to help with preparations.


Here, Yasutomo serves the Lord by rubbing seasoning salt on the turkey that we deep fried for our outreach. It was Yasutomo's first time. He said it was "foul".

We divided our group in two. One group went to a park in a part of the city called Goya, the others stayed in the park near Kadena Gate 2. The Goya park had many drunk and passed out homeless. There we met this boy named Kazuki. He is 6 years old. Please pray for Kazuki and his father, who is on the left. We will be returning to the park with food and items on Dec. 17th.
Okinawa is considered the poorest of the prefectures of Japan, with the greatest percentage of unemployment. It is our heart to reach out in the love of Jesus Christ in a practical way. We will be returning to provide meals, clothes, blankets and as the Lord leads, even medical assistance. Please pray with us for these the poorest of the lost.
