MEETS is the International Christian Fellowship in Okayama. The purpose of MEETS is the fellowship among foreign Christians who live in different culture. We provide the space for the people to share fellowship, Bible study and prayer.
We had MEETS on January 31. 3 Swedish, 2 Americans, and 6 Japanese attended. We sang worship songs and studied Bible. This time we learned from Jonah chapter 4. Jonah was angry at the God, because the God stopped destroying Nineveh. Jonah hated Nineveh because they were so evil and cruel. But the God's perspective is different from human's. He doesn't want even evil people perish but wants them to come to God. It's like the father of the prodigal son. We could know the God's big heart. The next MEETS is supposed to be Feb. 28 at Oka's house from 7 PM.
We will have a new year party of MEETS on January 3rd 6PM at Oka's house. Please join! We will have a dinner. It's welcome bringing something food or drink(no alchohl please). If you would like to come, please send me an e-mail.

We had MEETS on 18th Oct. This time was a big meeting with 16 people, 1 American, 4 Swedish, 6 Philipines, and 5 Japanese. We sang many worship songs and studied Bible, and shared fellowship time. We learned from Jonah chapter 3. Jonah followed the order of God and went to Nineveh and proclaimed God's warnig that Nineveh would be overthrown in forty days. What Jonah did was walking around the city of Nineveh and shouting around only six words in Hebrew. Then the whole Nineveh city repented. From this we learned the God's great power to be able to change the evil human mind, and God who has such great power needed Jonah who was not obedient. The God needs coworkers even though who are not perfect. After the meeting we had Sukiyaki dinner. That was so fun.
We had MEETS on 27th September. This time Elin from Sweden attended, who came to Japan 2 weeks ago. We studied from Jonah chapter 2. Jonah was treated by the God to be ready to serve. And Jonah was in the big fish for three days at the bottom of the sea. That was the sign of Jesus Christ, who was in the grave for three days. From the story we could learn surrendering ourselves to the God to be able to work for the God.
We will have next MEETS on Sep. 27 at Oka's house. But this time that starts at 4PM. Please be careful. If you need picking up, please send an e-mail or call me 090-5374-2507.
