pastoral luncheon

Every month, a group of American pastors gather for a lunch time fellowship. Some of these guys have been ministering on Okinawa for 20+ years! It is an honor and blessing to get to know these men. Its been great to see how the body of Christ can work together for God's glory here on Okinawa. I know that many have gone before us in plowing, planting and sowing...As Jesus said in John 4:36-38 "And he who reaps receives wages, and gathers fruit for eternal life, that both he who sows and he who reaps may rejoice together. For in this the saying is true: 'One sows and another reaps.' I sent you to reap that for which you have not labored; others have labored, and you have entered into their labors."We are blessed to enter into their labors. God has been doing a good work here on Okinawa long before we came, but He desires to continue to do more in the lives of all those that call Okinawa home and we get to be a part of that work! "So then neither he who plants is anything, nor he who waters, but GOD who gives the increase!"
