We had the most beautiful day in Okinawa today. The air was cool, and the sun was warm. We headed down south to Memorial Peace Park. It is here that the Battle for Okinawa ended. The Japanese forces made their last stand here. I was a sad place. It was here that many Japanese people committed suicide as they jumped from these cliffs. (bottom left picture of Aaron and the cliffs) Also here is where they built a memorial wall with all of the soldiers who lost their life during the war, Japanese, Okinawan, Americans, and British. (upper left picture) Today it is a beautiful park where you can reflect on peace and learn what happened during the war.

it's alway important to see the not only beautiful places in okinawa but historical places and study what really happened in okinawa.......
My family and I moved to Okinawa Japan after Pastoring in Corona, California for 14 years. We started the church in 1991, and have a wonderful church family back in Corona. The reason for coming to Okinawa, is that we have a vision to start a Calvary Chapel Bible College and prepare men and women for ministry all over the World. We feel totally blessed to be overseas in Japan, and believe that this is just the beginning of what God wants to do here on the Island.
