A divisive issue: Sushi Anyone?

Here’s a photo I grabbed at Genki Sushi near Tokyo Station.  Notice the conveyor belt carrying the fresh sushi around the sushi bar.

Celebrating the universal languages of music and worship

Here’s a shot of our family celebrating the wonderful days we enjoyed ministering to and fellowshipping with the Mito church.  Judging from the tears, smiles, joy, laughter and all the comments, we are thrilled to witness how God used this trip for His glory.  The precious brothers and sisters in Japan will not be forgotten [...]
