Living In Faith

(Pastor Ro with Lisa and Garry above; Living Faith Community Church below)

My favorite part about this trip has been the time we have spent with the people at living faith. I really think they are a wonderful group of people. I cannot speak more highly of them. I know that people have such good things to say about Redeemer, I went and I was impressed. But I was not nearly as impressed as I am with Living Faith. They were so warm and welcoming. I was so encouraged by their presence. Their Christ like qualities of loving community and hating self exaltation became more and more obvious. Needless to say I will miss all of them. Thanks to modern day inventions like facebook I hopefully will be able to keep up with some of them.

Probably the second most impactful thing about my trip was the pastor at Living Faith church. He is a very down to earth person. We had a meal with Him to celebrate the completion of our work with Living Faith which was a great time of fellowship. When we asked him what he thought the number one problem with Living Faith is he responded, "The Pastor". This kind of down to earth Gospel reckoning was such a refreshment to me. It let me know that I am more sinful than I can imagine but God is more merciful than I can ever know. Thanks Stephen!

Also thank you Garry and Lisa for being so welcoming you made us feel right at home. And I may take you up on your offer to stay with you when I come back from Japan in a couple of Years.
