Sweet Dropper in Japan, Day 1
July 20, 2009
The Sweet Dropper and his firstborn son are in Japan. . Here are some daily (more or less) updates. I hope we can post photos and video later in the week:
Sunday, July 19: 6:45 am in Yamagata. About to go to breakfast. Saturday busy-visits with Dan Iverson (MTW Japan director) in Chiba. Then on train to central Tokyo and met by 2 men (one Dutch and one Japanese) who are planting a PCJ church with Redeemer network. They’ll have their first worship service today. This plant would be something like Redeemer Manhattan in its potential influence and cosmopolitan feel because of its location in heart of financial, political, and entertainment heart of Japan.
Great Shinkansen train ride to Yamagata in afternoon. Checked into hotel by ourselves. Visit Sat. Night with Kaz and Katie Yaegashi.
