Daichi English Class/Jamming for Jesus

The past week has been a blessed time. The Daichi English class began on Thursday and it was good. For our level 1 class we were blessed with the attendance of Onyu Lee, Kimiko Yamada, Ryu Iimura, Chan Hyun Lee, Hwan Hee Lee, Takaharu Yamamoto, A Hyun Lee, Ryusei, Juns, Nong Ku Lee. For our level 2 class we were blessed with the attendance of Gichoon, Nick, Paul, Mr. Chan, and Beth. Our next class will be divided into 3 classes since there are 7 children. So, we will have a children's class, a level 1 class, and a level 2 class. The focus is still on phonics, reading, and writing using the Children's Bible and the NIV Bible. It is very encouraging to see the Lord opening the doors to reach this group. Most of the children attend the church regularly with their parents. However, there are a couple children, and some adults, who have not heard much about the truth of our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore, it is obvious that the Lord is working here and I look forward to seeing the Holy Spirit work among us.

Jamming for Jesus has been a continuous encouragement as a time of fellowship, Bible reading, and fun. Unfortunately, Seiko can no longer join us since she became too busy. Of course, we will continue to pray for her, to be strengthened and encouraged whatever she will be doing. We welcome a new member, Ritsu-san, who is a believer and a tremendous flute player who plays classical music professionally. As it turns out, despite living far from Mitaki church, she has a job nearby on Wednesdays making it convenient for her to come and join us! Truly, the Lord has blessed us with her presence. Our outreach concert is scheduled for Oct. 12 by Ota river, please keep us in your prayers.
