Praise God that Sunday November 23 saw the first meeting of the new Grace Fellowship! The service was in English and there were quite a few new faces. Tom and Sarah, from the US, joined us with their 3 boys and 2 girls, as well as Karen, an interpreter from New Zealand. It was good to also see some of the familiar faces from International Chapel. A couple of students who are not believers yet from the English conversational class held before the service also joined us.
Due to the nature of the fellowship, Grace consists predominantly of short-term, transient members. Please pray that the Lord would strengthen the fellowship and that attendees would be committed to meeting regularly and serving one another. Also ask the Lord to provide a committed, long-term core group of Christians so that we can see Grace become a permanent flourishing house of God where his name is glorified, a permanent fellowship of the Japanese church and not just of the expat community.
