Vision 2013

Our church's this year vision is "Over 30 adult congligation". This is my first try to say church vision straitly. I am thinking about my neibor hood. I have a contact someday we go to tea together one lady. My Mother's funeral service brought many many audiences in last Feb. I found out one Christian in there. Konomi brought 6 people on Christmas. I post sometimes church bultons. If one member invite 1 person,vision is enough full. Yes,united we can do it!
