CCBC Okinawa's first Bible Class started

Last night we had our first Bible course class offered. We had 9 students taking "Life of Christ". It was a great class, all of the students were excited after the first class. I was a little concerned that all the information, especially at an evening class would be to much, but they all hung in there, and did well. It was such a blessing to see Yumi Tomori taking classes again. She came up to me after class and was blessed that she understood much of what was said. For those of you who do not know Yumi. She was one of the first Christians that Rick and I met when we first got on Island. It is such a blessing to see her grow in the Lord. We have 3 girls and 6 guys in the class.
Joanna's class will begin next week, since she was off Island in California. She has about 10 women ready to take "Women in Ministry". So please keep her in your prayers. We believe that God wants us to prepare men and women for the ministry, and we are blessed to be a part of what God is doing in Asia.
God bless you all, Pastor Tommy
