Happy Birthday, Pastor Toshiki! 🎉
Yesterday was more than just rafting—it was another reminder that some of life's best memories are made together. From rapids and laughter to sushi and football, every moment reflected the joy of brotherhood that God has given us.
Thank you for faithfully serving Christ, leading with humility, and inviting others to walk alongside you. Here's to another year of adventures, discipleship, and seeing God's Kingdom grow in Japan.
Happy Birthday! May God continue to bless you, your family, and the ministry He has entrusted to you. 🇯🇵✝️🎂
thump, thump, ro!!!

This month has been a beautiful reminder that God is still building His Kingdom. Here in Japan and back in America, we have seen His faithfulness through new friendships, new children being born, new families joining the journey, and even new brothers coming alongside us to help with our home and daily life.
Through every coffee, meal, adventure, and conversation, we are reminded that we already have victory in Christ and confidence in the calling He has given us. God continues to provide exactly what we need—people to love, serve, and walk alongside.
"Thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ." – 1 Corinthians 15:57
Let's go, Enjoyers!!! In all that we do, we do it for the Lord!

今月のまとめ
今月は、神様が今も御国を建てておられることを改めて感じる一か月でした。日本でもアメリカでも、新しい友情、新しい命の誕生、新しい家族との出会い、そして私たちの家や日々の生活を助けてくれる新しい兄弟姉妹が与えられました。
コーヒーの時間、食事、冒険、そして何気ない会話を通して、私たちは改めて思わされています。
私たちはすでにキリストにあって勝利を与えられ、神様からの召しに生きている。
神様はいつも必要なものを備えてくださり、一緒に歩み、愛し合い、仕える人々を与えてくださっています。
「しかし、神に感謝します。神は私たちの主イエス・キリストによって、私たちに勝利を与えてくださいました。」（第一コリント15:57）

Life together is rarely built through big events. More often, it grows through ordinary moments—sharing meals around a table, laughing during game nights, studying God's Word in living rooms, serving children, enjoying the beach, and simply showing up for one another.

Over time, something beautiful happens.

Strangers become friends. Friends become family.

What began as a collection of people from different nations, cultures, and backgrounds has become a community learning to follow Jesus together. These photos are more than memories; they are a glimpse of what God is building here in Japan.

Thank you for praying, encouraging, serving, and walking alongside us. Every conversation, every shared meal, every act of kindness helps create a place where people can belong.

Because the Kingdom of God is often built in ordinary moments, and those ordinary moments are becoming a family. taken in Enjoy Church Osaka by @nathanjohnson1701

Panasonic and Fujitsu in the semi-finals of the X-League (Japan's top American football league) Yes, there is American Football in Japan! A field trip with the boy students. Practice English and they learned American culture "Football." Once again Japan takes their sport seriously and yet so humble at the same time! Crowd was always engaged! The cheerleaders get Microphones to pump up the crowd! The teams are very agressive. The most aggressive first quarter American football I have ever seen. 😲 These guys hit too. Couple of injures just like any other game, however, when a player is injured everyone is quiet. You can hear a pin drop in that stadium. Thats how quiet it gets. Great game! Panasonic made it to the finals!! Rice Bowl here we come!! taken in ヤンマースタジアム長居 by @nathanjohnson1701

Happy Birthday, Marines!
Through 250 years of Marine Corps excellence and proud tradition, we once again celebrate our birthday in honor of the Spirit of the Corps — First to Fight and ever steadfast in our warrior spirit. Guided by our core values of Honor, Courage, and Commitment, we remember that many have given, and some have given all. Let us never forget that we are the guardians of freedom and the American spirit.

Semper Fi, Marines. Oorah!
