Last week Lifehouse Church celebrated 20 years since beginning as a small team in Tokyo. Although we have only been in Fukuoka and Kyushu for 8 years, 20 years is a celebration for all of us – if it wasn’t for Ps Rod and Viv planting a church in Tokyo 20 years ago, we wouldn’t be in Fukuoka today.

Lifehouse started with a vision of a wave of God’s love washing over Japan, now it continues with the river of God (Ezekiel 47:1-6). As we wade into the river we celebrate and are blessed by what has happened in the past, and are carried forward into the future God has for us – personally and as a church. This month in our messages we are looking at what the different depths of the river mean for us as we wade deeper and deeper into the river. Join us in-person in Fukuoka or Online anywhere on Sundays as we continue Refresh: River of God.

A quick reminder that Connect Groups have started! All of our Bible connects are online so you can join from anywhere, if you aren’t in a group we would love to help connect you to a great group for you. We also run Language Exchange and the Alpha Course in-person in Fukuoka after church. These are great opportunities for making friends, and inviting your friends to have some fun and hear about Jesus. There are so many great stories around Japan (including Fukuoka) of people who have found Jesus and their church family through invitations to Language Exchange and Alpha. We are here to share the good news of Jesus here in Fukuoka and Kyushu, join with us in invitation to services (online and in-person) as well as community like Language Exchange – you never know how someone will respond to the message of Jesus until they hear it.

We’re looking forward to this month with you online and in-person, hope to see you soon!
