For the first time in over 10 years TMC gathered with Musashino Chapel Center (Tokyo Musashino EFC) for a retreat, this time Oct 12-14 (Sat-Mon) near Mt. Fuji. It was good for TMC people to join with a larger group of believers for fellowship. The total number was probably about 120, with 12 adults from TMC (pictured). We were able to participate Sunday evening and enjoyed renewing acquaintances with people from MCC.

We pastored the English Department of MCC from 2007-2010 with the understanding that MCC would help us plant our next (and third) church in Japan. So MCC became the “mother church” or “primary partner church” of TMC, and in 2013 we were sent out from MCC on the west side of Tokyo in order to launch TMC on the east side of Tokyo.
