Yamashiro Home church

From the youngest Mai-chan to the oldest Mr.Hogan the Yamashiro family meets once a month for home church. It is such a blessing to have the whole family serving God ...Growing learning sharing and helping each other.

Here we have students studying English at ECC .Nozomi and I were asked to be the judge for the evaluation of English proficiency...The girls being in Jr high I thought they will be all shy. But to my surprise they were very confident and had good communication skills. later I was told the teacher /coach is a christian and some of the girls also...then I knew that must have been where they get there confidence ( to be bold in the Lord).

Simon,Testuya,Masaki had a great time helping out Pastor Tom with painting the new Koinonia Cafe...It is a very exciting time in Okinawa when churches are on the move...To God be the Glory...
