The Church in Japan: Omega Reunion
Yesterday we had a bit of a reunion here at our church. When I first came to Osaka in 1973 one of my first projects was a Christian Coffeehouse called the Omega. The Christians that I met at the Omega have remained my good friends for over 30 years now. One of the Omega group, Yamada Kun, now lives in America but right now is visiting Japan. He attended our morning church service and gave a wonderful testimony and also shared with us a song he had written.
In the afternoon we were joined by another Omega member, Shin Chan, who is also a guitar player and a Christian singer/songwriter. Shin Chan and Yamada Kun basically played non-stop for a couple of hours. When they finally gave up in exhaustion it was time for supper when we were joined by Mr. and Mrs. Furukawa and their son. Mr. and Mrs. Furukawa were also involved with the Omega Coffeehouse and so for the rest of the evening it was just a case of enjoying wonderful Christian fellowship. My heart was full of thanks for God's grace and goodness in guiding and being with us all these years and allowing us to keep in touch. It was sad when our group had to break up because of the lateness of the hour. My prayer is that all the members of the Omega group will continue to stay in touch and that we will have many chances in the future to again get together for fellowship.
Our home is always open-Reiko and I are waiting for the next Omege member to give us a call!
