Ritsuko, I and three other members of Shining Lights Church ( http://www.shininglightschurch.org ) went on a one day mission trip to Takino in Hyogo Prefecture (about 85kms away from Nagaokakyo). The reason we went there is to pray for a lady who is in this hospital (the building in the photo). After visiting the hospital and praying for her, we spent the rest of the day with her family going to various places in Takino. We believe that one day we'll be able to plant a church in Takino. It was the furthest distance Ritsuko and I have travelled from Nagaokakyo since we arrived here in November last year. Last September on our brief visit to Japan before the big move we also made a visit to Takino.
