Brazil connections

I was very happy to pay a visit to Pastor Hitoshi Yamada this week. Hitoshi is one of the pioneers of Brazil mission work among the Nikkei in northern Brazil. Together with his wife, Kathy, they served for 40 (Kathy) and 32 years respectively. It was a privilege to share stories about the challenges of working in the Amazon, although admittedly, his challenges of fifty years ago far outweigh mine.

Fiz uma visita para Pastor Hitoshi aqui em California central. Foi um dos pioneiros do trabalho missionarío entre os Nikkei no Amazonas.  Postei essa foto no Face e muita gente ficou bem animada em vê-lo de novo!  A vida de Sr Hitoshi e Sra Keiti foi bem marcante!
