Swiss Mission



For the last two weeks a group of 26 Swiss missionaries have been here in Japan on a short term mission. Last year the same group came out here and we had a brilliant time so its been great to have them again and to see so many young people really wanting to serve God. They have been to old people's homes, churches, festivals, orphanages and many other places doing song and dance concerts. Everyone loves them and many people have been really blessed by their coming, including us!



Actually Maiko and I have not really done anything to help them this year. Maiko's mum and brother are doing all the work (Satoshi was thier translator which is amazing considering he could not speak a word of English when I met him first... he did great by the way). Maiko and I have been a little busy with a certain little dude who needs lots of attention at the minute!

On that subject check out this video of him dancing... he actually seems to like it too!







Just a final note to remind anyone who might be reading this.... if you or your church wants to come to Japan for short terms missions please dont hesitate to ask us.... we would love it and there is loads of work to do here!
