Japanese Outreach Fellowship Luncheon

We wanted to keep the great momentum God gave us with the Japanese New Believers' classes. They had such a great time of study and fellowship. So God gave us the idea to extend that to our unsaved Okinawan friends and family members. Every first Sunday of the month, we will be gathering for a special time of fellowship, prayer and devotion in the Fellowship Trailer @ 12:30pm.
Yumi brought her sisters with her. Kasumi was particularly shy. Yuka and Yumi have enough outgoing personality for all three! :) Even Katsue-san gave us smile. I think she just took a bite.
The fellowship time was open to all. Our heart was to minister to the Japanese speakers. Heidi and Sunita joined us as well. Murakami-san wanted to make sure she took of her glasses before I took the picture. Sunita's pretty fluent in Japanese so I think she helped Heidi with some words.
This was the trouble maker table. Just kidding. Pictured is Megumi, who serves as one of our translators, then Rika, who helps with a ministry called Ai No Kesshin (a pregnancy crisis intervention ministry aimed at Japanese gals who prevent abortions and assist in adoptions), and Shinobu, who teaches our Japanese Sunday school classes.
Here's Naka-san and Furugen-san. They were about to do "jankan po" . Okay, not really. They are discussing why Japanese coke is so much better than US coca-cola. Okay, just joking. But really... Please pray for the Naka Family - we trusting God to do great things with this man and his family. This is Mrs. Nishihara and her daughter, Lisa. Many of you might know Keisuke (San-shin guy) who is currently in China studying. Mrs. Nishihara came forward at the Franklin Graham Festival and has been growing leaps and bounds since! Please pray for the Nishihara family.
