NEW CHURCH BUILDING PROGRESS  REPORTS

Not at all! While of course one of the main purposes of our church building is for Sunday services, it's used for so much more throughout the week. We use it for neighborhood outreach events, providing visiting missionary housing, adult English classes, community support base during emergencies and more. One use I'd like to highlight is that my wife and I use it to hold an English class for elementary school students (英会話教室). This provides a great opportunity to invite Japanese families into the life of the church who might otherwise not be interested, while also helping kids get excited about learning English. This class really wouldn't be possible without the building!
