100 and counting...

...we would like to take this opportunity (our 100th post!) to say "thank you very much" (bobby's sign: domo arigato gozaimas) to our dear family, friends, ministry partners, and ryuminations readers for your solid investment and steady interest in us as we live, learn, and love in gakuentoshi (kobe), japan...for every praise report shared, for every prayer request answered, every picture shared, every penny sacrificed, we truly thank God for you and are honored to minister and mature together with you...
...on that note, it is our earnest hope and ongoing prayer that God matures each one of us in Christ so that we -- wherever we call home -- can effectively minister within our personal and vocational circles with the full resources we have in Christ...as it pertains to us, we WHOLEheartedly believe God's inexhaustible promise that the good news of Jesus Christ is indeed good news for the unreached nation of japan, and, to that end, we live, learn, and love in gakuentoshi...to THIS generation of beautiful japanese men, women, and children...
...early in our blog life, we enabled the "comments" function of our site...as some of our readers have requested, we will now reintroduce this interACTIVE function so that our site can become an active intersection of voices and views...
...with 100 and counting, again we would like to say domo arigato gozaimas for bearing with our wordiness...please keep reading with a perspective of prayer and praise (and hopefully write a comment here and there)...whether or not you do, know that from the bottom of our hearts we thank and praise God every day for you, which, in turn, helps us to see that God will use our shared journey in Christ to be a blessing in Christ here in japan...
::: cheers in christ :::
