This past Sunday night we had an Onigiri event at the church. Onigiri is almost like a sandwich to Japan. It is a rice ball with all kinds of things stuffed inside of it. We had salmon and beef and pickled plum that we served alongside of this.
My friend Daiki who I asked many of you to pray for in our January prayer letter came to church for the first time this past Sunday evening. We talked about fear and the fear of what people think about us. With all of the circumstances surrounding the virus right now, we are doing a series on fear. This coming Sunday we are going to be talking about how to handle the fear of dying.
Please continue to pray for Rosie. Her due date was yesterday, but no sign of Amos yet. We will keep you posted.
