For those of you who do not know, every Thursday at 12 noon we head out to Ryukyu University and offer free english lessons to the students. It is a lot of fun. We also invite them to come over to Pastor Tommy's house on Sunday evenings for w2. We share the love of Jesus Christ through friendship evangelism. Please continue to pray that the Lord would give us favor on the campus, and that He would open more doors for ministry.
Hello everyone, I want to introduce to you the Pallmann's. They are a wonderful couple who have been living in Okinawa for the past few years. You can click on thier website to the right of this page and follow up on more things that God is doing here in Okinawa. Dan, Debe (holding the baby) and baby Emi will be coming out to California in December to attend the Calvary Chapel Missions conference in Murrieta. So many of you will be able to meet them personally. Pictured to the right is Lisa Debe's sister, and to the far left is Debe and Lisa's mom who recently was baptized. Please keep them in prayer as the Lord has much in store for this family. God bless you all, Pastor Tommy
Pastor Tommy and Joanna arrived in Tokyo today to attend the Tokorozawa Pastor's conference. We spent the day hanging around with Pastor Travis and the rest of the Pastor's from Hawaii. As some of you well know, Travis was originally sent from CCHonolulu to start the Calvary Chapel here in Tokorozawa. We had a good time getting around the city and riding the subways. The rest of the group from Okinawa will arrive in the next few days.
Kayo turned 22 today, so Joanna baked her a cake. We had a wonderful dinner with her, the Pallmann's came over, we prayed a blessing over Kayo and had a great night of fellowship. Please continue to pray for Kayo as she seeks the Lord on what He would have her do next. When you get a chance, click the comment button below and leave her a nice birthday greeting. Kayo has always been a blessing to us, and to many of you who know her. Happy Birthday Kayo, and may the Lord continue to bless you.
This morning we had the opportunity to do chapel services at New Life Academy. We had a great time. Segmon did games, Tommy and Vunder did worship, and Joanna taught the elementary group. New Life Academy is located in Okinawa City and the kids as well as the faculty are great. Please continue to pray for the Christian schools on Island, they are doing a great job of reaching out to the Okinawan families with the love of Jesus Christ.
Tuesday morning we had a meeting with one of the Chaplains at Camp Hansen. Chaplain Biadog is a great man, he has often helped in ministry at OCSI, and extended his hand in fellowship to us here in Okinawa. We met to talk about the possibility of outreaching again to the Marines, but this time during the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays. Please pray for us that God will speak to our hearts and give us big vision for the Marines up in the Northern area of Okinawa.
The gang at one of their favorite places to eat. We had a great day at church and then a good meal at BIGdaichan! A good meal at a good price.
October is teacher appreciation month, so Calvary Okinawa honored their Sunday School teachers at the church. Pictured above is Joanna making a special announcement for that morning. Don't forget to thank all of your teachers at school, church and college, for all their hard work.
Derek sent me some pictures from the Foster Fest that we recently had the opportunity to play . October 31st we will be leading in song for the Harvest Carnival at Calvary Okinawa, and on November 13th we will be leading in Worship at Central Baptist Church. Please continue to pray for the band that we would Glorify the Lord Jesus Christ in all that we do.
This week at MELT it was a real blessing. Kayo, Segmon, Yumi and Tim came out to support the work on Ryukyu University. The students are excited about learning english. We invite them to Pastor Tommy's house on Sunday night to come and practice english with American students. Please continue to pray that they come and "hangout" with us as we share the love of Christ.
This is a picture of Cape Zampa in Yomitan. You can see the coral that surrounds the area off the coast. If you look to the left you can see the lighthouse. Many of you who have visited Okinawa, have climbed to the top of the lighthouse. Also, we've had some wonderful devotions in that area. Well, if you click below you can hear our prayer requests for this week, and again, thank you for clicking onto e3missions. God bless you all.
Praise the Lord! Larry has just came back from the Philippines. He was sent out from the Marines to do some training, but on the nights and weekends he was able to visit a Pastor there in Caloocan, near Manila. The Pastor's name is Pol (he is pictured above), and Larry has known him for a long time. Well the church is doing good in the Philippines, and Larry was blessed to see Pol for this short visit. Please continue to pray for the Philippines and the wonderful works that God is doing in that country. Also, Larry's job for the Marines is Public Affairs, he is in charge of the journalists on Camp Foster. Please pray for Rob, Tom and Segmon as we will be heading out to Ilo Ilo at the end of November.
