Reflection on This Year
The first half of this year involved continuous visits to churches across various regions for support fundraising. In addition to soul care, I delivered messages at churches and welfare facilities 2-3 times a month, making it a very busy period. In summer, at the North American Holiness Church's summer retreat, I had the opportunity to share about our activities with many people under the title “Healthy Faith Life,” serving as a culmination of our work in America. I concluded my life in America and returned to Japan in September. The pace slowed down due to moving. Starting in November, I began a new class, “Spiritual Care III.” I continue working to fully launch activities in Japan.
2026 Initiatives
- Increase activities and in-person events in Japan. The goal is 3-4 half-day retreats per year.
- Participate in networking events in Japan with a booth.
- Build cooperative relationships with individuals and organizations interested in pastoral care and mental health.
- Enhance outreach capabilities, such as video content.
- Develop and support team members and collaborators.
