Was, of course, pray. But my sisters and I make it a point of doing that for months before making any trip to Okinawa, to ask God to prepare the way, so it was a matter of course it was the first "thing" we did when we got together to start our month together too. But when it came to thinking about where we were going that first week, well, we decided to visit our cousin Rumiko, now living alone on the nearby island of Izena. Here are some pics from that first Monday.

Let's pray to put it up again!

Rumiko and Takashi had been living in a house on Izena island and doing children's evangelism for years when he was healthy. The handful of young Christians, without male leadership, have disbanded. She is now striving to maintain a Christian testimony with the small island's people, praying for workers--maybe one of the children they led to Christ will come back--and pick up what her husband started. Would you pray with us?
