There are some precious Japanese Christians. I know a missionary who does summer things there. Speaks the language etc. Used to live there—maybe as a military brat.
Are you aware of the theory that traces Japanese to Abraham? Fascinating stuff. I think it’s on the web. Some words, religious practices etc. are evidently remarkably Jewish.
I sure loved my time in Taiwan and China. Yeah, each culture has it’s pluses and minuses. But in a lot of ways, I fit better there than here—much more relational there.
I love that. Though it can also be maddening at times.
Be safe vis a vis quakes! Where are you?
Lived for 10 years in the Tokyo area , and have been in my wife’s hometown in the Kumamoto hinterland for the past 12 . No severe quakes here in mountainman-land but we do get some wild and windy typhoons passing through from time to time .
Glad to read it.
Being at considerable elevation could well be very life-saving in coming years.
The world is evidently due some dramatic changes. Some say the Japan Islands markedly so.
Safety, health, provision, wholeness, fulfillment to you and those you love. May I ask what occupies you mostly . . . where you are?
