The Church Multiplication Network meeting on July 21 was really blessed. Pastor Chida came from Yamagata and shared insights learned through his experiences planting 9 churches. Everyone was encouraged and inspired to multiply churches in Okinawa, Japan, and Asia.

Pictured is Ito-sensei, a pastor we thought we would work with to plant a daughter church. However, her church members are almost all new Christians and really don't understand the priority of fulfilling the Great Commission yet. They have a very natural human desire to have a larger worship facility with a kitchen attached. Ito-sensei shares our vision for church multiplication and will be developing her congregation to multiply next time, if God so wills.
