Chuck's First Japanese Message (チャック日本語でメッセージ始めました)

 

Chuck has recently started teaching in Japanese at the Sunday night service.  He usually teaches in English, but Chuck felt that it was time for him to start teaching the Bible in Japanese.  Please keep him in your prayers.  It takes twice as much time to prepare a message in another language.  Before he delivers a message, he needs to practice quite a bit and it is not easy for him as you can imagine.  But Chuck has stepped out in faith and is doing what the Lord has told him to do.  He is doing a great job by the way (by Yumi).

日曜日の夜の礼拝でチャックが日本語でメッセージを始めました。これまでは英語（日本語通訳付き）でメッセージをしていましたが、最近、主に日本語で聖書を教えてはどうかという促しを受けたそうです。しかし、実際始めてみると、本人の想像以上に準備に時間がかかり、礼拝前に何度も練習が必要でとても大変そうです。主にあって信仰の一歩を踏み出したチャックをみなさんの祈りに覚えて頂けると感謝です。
