What I miss about TMEFC

I miss a lot of things about Tokyo. I miss the JR trains that I took everyday, the onigiri that I bought at the convenience stores (okaka and tuna mayo ftw), being able to get around perfectly fine without a car…

But one of the biggest things that I miss about Tokyo is Tokyo Musashino Evangelical Free Church. Everyone there was just so geniunely nice, caring, loving, and welcoming. The preaching was solid and it was a church that (from what I could tell) was like-minded. If anyone studies abroad in Tokyo, I will point them to this church! Haha.

What surprised me my first Sunday there (a pleasant surprise) was when they had a time of prayer. People share prayer requests and praise reports and it’s a sweet time of sharing each others’ burdens and rejoicing with others. It was also kind of a quick way to get to know people because they weren’t just all these people I didn’t know but these real people with real problems. Haha get what I mean?

I really came to cherish those times at TMEFC. It made me wish that LBC would do something similar because I had never experienced corporate prayer on a weekly basis like that.

Well. This morning, some of us went to church at 10 o’clock to pray for JR & Kathy. It was a sweet time of prayer, being able to lift up a beloved brother and sister in their time of need and suffering and seeing how there were people willing to come along side them and to help in what way they could was such an encouragement. Pastor John then announced that he wanted to do corporate prayer on a weekly basis, Saturdays at 7-8 AM. It made me think of TMEFC and made my heart very happy.

Ok, that’s all. Hahaha. I don’t know how to end this entry. But I am very tired, I smell like disinfectant (from cleaning ministry) and I haven’t showered yet. Good night!
