We have been offering an English conversation cafe since September. It has been gaining a steady attendance by people from a diverse cultural background, but the most consistent group is a group of people from Japan who have come to Canada for language learning. At Thanksgiving, we invited the group to the church's Thanksgiving dinner and thirteen of them came! They were very eager to learn the language and the culture, but more importantly, they are very open to learn about Jesus. Most of these students had never been in touch with Christianity in Japan. They are curious about our faith. We are thankful for the opportunities the Lord has given us to share our faith with them. At the same time, we marvel at how God has placed people from the nations among us. These students will only stay in Canada for a year. By the time we get to know them and are able to talk about faith matters with them, we will probably only have about 6 months of time. We feel the urgency and treasure every opportunity. Our prayer is that these students will become Christ's ambassadors who will bring the message of Christ back to their home countries!
