On Dec. 30, Dale submitted TMC’s EFC of Japan membership application. We at TMC have always been an informal part of the EFCJ, especially the Kanto (greater Tokyo) South District. But this application moves us toward becoming an official EFCJ church. If the application is approved by the EFCJ Board, it will be brought to the early February EFCJ Annual Meeting for a vote. Dale might need to attend.
