Hakodate

We've just returned from a one week trip in Hakodate. The Sztos (missionaries from BFEC) are serving at a church in nearby Nanae, and we were there to visit them and to hang out with the members of Unison, who were also there on the first leg of their mission trip. Unison staged 2 concerts there, and we praise God for the positive response that each concert brought.

Hakodate is a beautiful city. This port city in Hokkaido offers one of the world's best night views from a mountain lookout according to a worldwide survey. Every year, Hakodate would receive a huge Christmas tree from its sister city, Halifax, Canada, and the lightup is quite spectacular. It was snowing when Unison visited the tree one night, making it a delightful experience for many of them, especially those who are seeing snow for the very first time.

Unison is now in Azumino, Nagano for the next leg of their trip, and we are back in Tokorozawa preparing for the all the Christmas events we will have over the weekend. Please pray for Unison as their journey back to Tokyo on 22 Dec in time for their last musical concert in Tokorozawa.
