Time flies when you are having fun! And we have been having so much fun!

Weekend concerts in Yamaguchi...

Last weekend we took a trip to Yamaguchi city to do music at an area wide church worship event. It was such a blessing to see so many alive and vibrant churches meeting together to worship and fellowship. Several different worship teams representing their own church, lead worship at various times in the meeting. Different pastors from each church also gave messages throughout the day. I was so impressed with the messages they brought! God is certainly working through these power packed, alive churches and the leaders there in that area! We were so blessed and encouraged!

A week long holiday and family...

This last week was filled with a different sort of ministry for us, we were ministering to Rocky's family from Osaka. Rocky's brother Junichi and his wife Kikuko were here to visit because last week was a special holiday in Japan known as Golden Week. Their 9 year old son Daiki and 5 month old son Tomoki were a blast to have around, especially for Hana. Junichi is a Christian but his wife is not and we always enjoy the opportunity to love on her and talk to her about the Lord. Please pray for this family, especially that Mom and sons would join the family of God!

And here you have the next generation of Ayatsuka's. (left to right) Hana, 20 months; Tomoki, 5 months; Daiki, 9 Would you pray with us for the salvation of these three and the anointing of the Lord on their lives, that they would be the next generation of Ayatsuka's to take the Gospel of Jesus Christ to Japan!!!
