■ New Staff! Soul Care Coordinator: Yuma Nakagawa
Profile
In 2008, at age 18, accepted Jesus Christ as Savior at Honolulu Christian Church (Hawaii). Graduated from Tokyo Bible College [M.Div.]. Completed Master of Arts in Pastoral Counseling [MAPC] at Asbury Theological Seminary (Kentucky). Devotes heart to supporting the formation and growth of healthy Christian faith through pastoral counseling.
He also has a heart for ministering to Christians within the church who have suffered wounds and pain in their faith and relationship with God, such as through spiritual abuse, helping them find healing, restoration, and the strength to rise again. Alongside his work in “Soul Care Ministry,” he started a church called “Bloom Tree Tokyo,” engaging in pastoral care and church planting.
Yuma has joined as a member of Soul Care's activities. We expect to see him in various settings as we develop our future activities. We appreciate your support.
Soul Care's activities are also supported by many other volunteers and staff members. We are grateful to each person the Lord has provided.
We would be blessed by your continued prayers and support.
■ Introducing the Podcast Channel “CrossTime”
This channel, hosted by Yumi and Saki who have overseas experience, explores the theme “From Accountability to Revival in Japan.”
Accountability, as the term implies, refers to a relationship where we bear responsibility for one another and pray together.
It embodies the prayer that Japanese Christians, not alone but together as companions, may stand firm in faith, possess fervent hearts, and give glory to God.
We sincerely hope you will listen.
