Back in the Day

Our first trip as a group was in October 2000. The team was made up of a group from Livingwater and CC Whittier. Here Richard is impressed with Alfredo's playing. Alfredo had previously lived in Okinawa as a Navy dependent. He used to play in the clubs but now as a Christian, he had come back a new man to share the love of Christ in worship. If you look real carefully, you will see Tom on the drums.
Pastor Alvin shared the message at the Door of Faith Church. This would later become the building God gave us and the beginning of the ministry of Calvary Chapel Okinawa.
Deb, Richard, Jen, Alvin, Ally and Willie...
Farah was a part of that first team too. Her sister, Jen was one of our first missionaries after we moved here in Feb. 01. On this trip, Farah was pregnant with Caleb. One funny thing is that the apartment were the school put us in would later become where Glenn and Farah lived when they ministered at OCSI.
