Here is a great bilingual church that is held in the afternoons on Sunday in Hyogo between Osaka and Kobe. Near the new Nishinomia Garden Mall, this church has good worship and young people from all over. For wonderful Christian fellowship between Osaka and Kobe, this place is not to hard to find as you walk out just in front of the Nishinomia station on the Hankyu Line. From Umeda just get on the Kobe bound train on track #9. For more information please visit www.crossroad-web.com or www.crossroad-web.com/en/ The main leaders are Pastor Mark and Fumi Sensei. These are great folks who were a part of KBF (Kobe Bible Fellowship) five years ago and decided to start another church fellowship in Nishinomia. The service here starts at 2:30 PM in Nishinomia and the KBF bilingual services in Kobe start at 10:30 AM with more Chinese members attending and an international service at 4 PM for English speakers. Both places are great churches. If you are in the area and you don't have a home church then get plugged into one of these bilingual churches or if you are in Northern Osaka in the Hokustesu area then check out www.ChristOfAllNations.com. Loads of fun, fellowship, adventure, and spiritual growth for all.

This was an event that took place last year but may not have been posted here so this is a re-post of that event if I did not miss posting it in 2008.  The B1 group had a special guest from Redding California.  Also next week, a new couple in that group is getting married. Blessings and Peace Out!

Having tried to Google New Hope Church and finding it difficult to find this church even under key words such as Osaka Castle, Osakajo, Osaka, Kansai, Christian Church, Osaka Fellowship, or even New Hope Church... it seemed fair to post a Short VidCast here at JapanHarvest.net and have others find it here and be able to ask further questions via email at newhope [at] JapanHarvest.net which will be forwarded to someone in charge.  Blessings and Peace to you. Titus 3:5 -He saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy. He saved us through the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit-

Sunday 4:30 to 5:30, Aug. 25th, 2007 - Higashi Onohara, Minoh OSAKA.  This was just after the holidays so we were all a little bit more relaxed.  No potluck photos in this episode but you can see some in the previous event episodes when Diane came to Japan in the spring of 2007.  We have been losing talented expatriates but increasing with locals.  Hopefully we will be a mixed congregation of not just "internationals" as we have been, but grow to an equal number of Japanese participants (half and half) one day.   This is an inter-denominational church that was set up 12 years ago for the expatriates in the northern Osaka region  (Hokusetsu Area) as there are many universities around for foreigners.  Often we have a dozen different nationalities participate within the same service.  Everything is in English with some Japanese translation. All are welcome... come and join us!

This episode has an intro but the quality is not as great as the one released prior.  Go check that one out if you intend on listening to the entire one hour.
