It was a Blessing to see and hear my wife's heart and where she is at in the Lord making a bold Testimony in Church encourageing the Brothers and Sister thereof....In her Testimony she gave much account of the work of TCJ and again I was very proud to see the TCJ mum in her...
Please keep Nozomi in your prayers as the ministry keeps me at the center 3 day out of the week ...

God is so good ...in His goodness he is able to do more than we can ever imagine.

The Run

November 1st was the Sashiki Shohashi Marathon - 20k.
From TCJ - Tetsuya, Ryuichi, Takashi; Ran - All three were able to make the time limit. Hallelujah... Doing it for the second time
Tetsuya wanted to have an additional challenge for this race he decided to run with a cross. It was a challenge indeed. Tetsuya latter told me that during the run even at the warm up stage his thought went back and forth from weather to run with the cross or not. The reason being it was quit big and rather heavy than what he imagine...The decision was made he started to run the cross got heavier and heavier as the kilometer increased. On occasion he tought of leaving the cross at the water point...some (Obachan) older ladies told Tetsu to leave the cross with them so he can run the race. The battle of the mind... yes it was his decision to do it but like many of us we start some thing and at time is not able to see it to completion.
The battle of the mind is so real...Tetsu did finish the race with the cross time limit being 3 hours and 15 minutes. Tetsu came in 3 hours and 14min...to do some thing to the end bringing it to a finish. overcoming doubt Pressing on...
Good job Tetsu. Ryuichi, Takashi
