Carol and I enjoyed a quick trip to Fukuoka for the ordination service for the Shaos, who are planting a Chinese church in that city in western Japan. Francis Tam, representing the Canadian Chinese Alliance Church Association, conducted the service and I participated in the prayer for Ken and Winnie Shao and their ministry.
By removing some sliding doors between two large rooms, the Shaos were able to convert their apartment into a church sanctuary for their growing congregation. Check out the choir robes! They may be a small church, but they've got a well outfitted choir!
Rev. and Mrs. Hirai of the local Alliance church were able to visit at lunchtime, and we were glad to snap a picture of this international group. International cooperation and partnership is how things get done nowadays.
