Sisters of Ginowan

The gals got together for this picture to celebrate those gals who got baptized this Sunday at Kouki Beach. It rained and rained and rained, but it was a super blessing. Swimming in the rain was awesome! The whole afternoon was awesome!

College Ramen #1

By far, the best Ramen joint that I have ever had. You start out with this delicious ice tea. Then you have as much spicy bean sprouts, picked dikon and whole garlic you can consume. Then comes more good stuff: Tonkatsu Ramen, 4 Gyoza, and a side of Fried Rice. All for only $8.00. College Ramen #1!

Getting ready for the Christian Surfer's Outreach

At Baba Park at Sunabe Seawall getting ready for the outreach. Mr. Lacar put together a good outreach. So many ministries were there to be a part. It was a total blessing. Praise The Lord!

Inoru Can't Handle

We took him to the world famous "Dragon". Inoru was stuffed! He got rocked. Yeah, we break them in right here in Ginowan.

Jake leaving Tokyo

But the good thing is that he is heading back to Okinawa. It was a super blessing having Jake again at SOS this summer. We love this guy! Praise The Lord!

Kyle is on his way!

Kyle is part Okinawan and he will now be spending the next few days with his family. God bless you Kyle it was great having you here. Come back soon, yes!

Joel finished up 1 Thessalonians

For SOS Joel taught the morning devotions and he did a great job. Thanks Joel for blessing us greatly.

Vanessa heading home

SOS is finished and Vanessa is heading back to San Diego. She was such a blessing to us all. It was a bummer to see her go but we are so glad The Lord brought her here. God bless you Vanessa thank you for coming and being a part.

Yeah! Our Australian Missionary just got 5 more years

That is right: Thomas Cotton just got renewed for half a decade. The best part of it, he biked all the way to Kadena Circle and back. This guy is an animal. Congratulations Tom!
