My Kyoto Visit

[Mami Ghone]

Hi everyone :D
It's been a long time since I updated here.

I have been staying in Kyoto since the mid December.
Kyoto is the city I grew up, but since I now live in Australia, I only get to visit once in few years.

The purpose of this visit is to do God's ministry, particularly evangelism in Kyoto.
This visit has been amazing!

What I do here in Kyoto:
- Work part time at Yatsuhashi (= triangular shaped sweets made of rice) shop
- Joining 2-3 English Bible Class a week.
- Joining Assembly Kyoto Church with Pastor Joseph :)
- Going to a Christian Cafe called, Chii Roba (ever ridden donkey) Cafe for personal devotion.
- Doing prayer walks twice a day :)

Praise Points:
- I met new Christian friends who I can share my concerns with :) Such a precious provision of God!
- I met many university friends through the Bible class, who desire to know more about God and the Bible, Both non Christians and Christians. People are coming to know Jesus, and it has been very encouraging to see how God touch young people!
- Praise God for AKC. The church service every Sunday really feeds me spiritually! Love the fellowship as well.
- Praise God for English Bible Class. It teaches me a lot.
- Praise God for Chii Roba Cafe :) It's very near my house. They have a collection of Christians books that teach me about our spiritual parents who lived in Kyoto. It's an edifying experience.
- Praise God for financial blessing through the part time joib.
- Praise God for health, despite the fact I work outside in this winter weather.

Ok, this entry has gotten very long. So I will update the prayer points the next time!

Love,

Mami

Pastor Joseph, Thank you! I will post some more soon :)

Rika san,
I work for Honke Yatsuhashi :)

For ちいろば cafe, go to http://cafe-lil-donkey.blogspot.com/ :D It's their blog :)
Just tell Oyama San (the guy who works there, you heard the cafe from Mami from Australia.

For Prayer Walk, I'm just walking and praying to God at the same time :)
Of course you can pray to God when you are riding a bike!
I also pray a lot in the bath! You can pray anytime anywhere, because God can hear you anytime and anywhere :D

Stay blessed,
Mami

And I want to know where Chii Roba Cafe is,the location of that!
I'll go there next week using my free time in morning or daytime!
Do you know what day they close the store a week?I'd like to know!
And additionally I have to mention about your heart to take some action to do God's ministry,joinning classes and prayer walks twice a day!Untill I read this blog I couldn't have this concept of prayer walk!
