Daiichi Church

We were thankful this Easter for the blessing of the resurrection!! It was a special day for us as we worshipped at Daiichi church in Okinawa, City. Daiichi was started about 15 years ago by Pastor Nohara and his family; wife Keiko and daughters Ai and Naomi. They planned it to be in a business area to reach out to inner city folks. They rented a former clothing store with four stories and since that time of beginning, have had a wonderful group of believers. We have begun a partnership with Daiichi and will be helping the church out. Leslie will be working with children and women and David will be working with the youth, starting an English worship with Vee, Ai's husband, and helping with the start of a new small church plant. God is at work and we are so blessed and excitedThe man in the middle of the photo in the back is Vee--who has a passion for spreading the Gospel and for teaching about worship. A native of Nagaland, he is married to Ai, the daughter of the pastor. They have three small children: Rebito, Kozo and Tsetsuri. In the photo, you also see our family, Vee's family and Stan Murray, our International Ministries area director. The video is of some of the children at Daiichi singing on Easter morning.
