Komyo Christian Church

Well, it really happened! Today, September 14, 2008, was the first worship service of the Komyo Christian Church. Paul and Melissa Ewing and I have spent a lot of time in prayer and planning for this day. Since we came to Japan in 2001 all we have done and learned has led up to this day. What an amazingly faithful God we serve!

Today there were 13 of us crowded comfortably into Ewings' living room. The Ewing 5 + me as well as 7 from the Kongo Bible Church, the church at which we have been ministering up until now. What an encouragement to have these brothers and sisters in Christ come to be part of the first service!

Although none of the friends we invited could come today, we know God will bring them and others as we progress. The Ewings' boys had invited some of their friends, too. They were a little disappointed when none of them came. But, we are trusting God, the God who created the world, the God who parted the sea, the God who provided salvation through Jesus Christ our Lord.

I am absolutely thrilled to be in this place at this time and am standing on tip toes in anticipation of what God has planned!

Thank you for praying with us! Please continue to pray!

Here are a few pictures from the day...
