"Eikawa" Outreach in Fukuyama, Hiroshima

I just received word from Pastor Mori at Takeshima Chapel in Fukuyama, Hiroshima that we will being classes on May 11th. The classes will last from 2 until 3pm every other Sunday. We will be having an "eikawa" styled class using stories from the Bible primarliy about Jesus. Currently, the proposed outline is as follows:

Class outline:
  • (5min.) We will begin with usual Greetings: How are you? How's the weather? What's the date? etc.
  • (10min.) A warm up game using familiar subjects like fruits, vegetable, etc.
  • (10min.) We may have a song (in English). If we do, we will give the students copies of the words of the song with "furigana".
  • (10min.) LISTENING: I will read the story at least two times in English (*We may read it in Japanese, but only if necessary. Otherwise, they can read it silently to themselves as a reference during the lesson.)
  • (10min.) VOCABULARY: We will reiview the keywords and discuss their meaning.
  • (10min.) READING: Together we will read the story again at least two times after studying the words.
  • (5min.) We will go over any questions from the students.

Please pray that the Lord will bless this time of outreach by means of teaching English.
