April - 2009: CBC & Tomakomai


Amidst the cherry blossoms, the CBC, Tokyo New Student Reception was held on April 7th with both online (7 students) and resident students (7 students) being received into the institution. I was allowed to share on Good Friday for the chapel time and I administered communion with the students and several faculty. During the communion time we opened ourselves to ministering in some spiritual gifts. I was told afterwards that this was the first time in six years that the chapel services were so opened up.


On Easter Sunday, I was in Tomakomai, Hokkaido and spoke at the Yamate-Cho Church which my father had planted about 40 years ago. The church building has been remodeled and expanded under the leadership of Pastor Osaka and his youngest son. I remembered quite a few of the old-timers and it was a great time of fellowship.
