Two BEAUTIFUL Christian Weddings!!
On July 18, Hiroyuki and Akiko were married!
Akiko is a great example to all the single young people who want GOD to choose their husband/wife! She is an excellent elementary school teacher, and also teaches children about God and His love at J-Kids (Sunday school). The children love her!

She was not impatient, but she waited for God to bring her husband to her. Hiroyuki (an editor for a medical publishing company) believed in Jesus several months ago, and he loves God so much! Akiko was so touched by his pure heart. God gave Akiko a very sweet husband who loves the Lord Jesus and is very kind to her.
On October 3, another Christian couple, Yuji and Tamiko, also promised to remain true to each other for the rest of their lives!
They wrote their vows on beautiful cards, and gave them to each other , so they can repeat their promises in years to come! Yuji and Tamiko are both very musical, and they sang a duet, worshipping Jesus together. Both of them are from faraway Hokkaido, (northern Japan) and they both received Jesus recently in Noborito, after they joined the Gospel Choir, and many choir members came to joyfully celebrate and worship God with them! It’s so beautiful to see JESUS in the middle of their marriage. 
We all shed many TEARS of JOY at both of these weddings!! All four of these precious young people have been courageous in deciding to follow Jesus, and they are the only ones in their extended families who are Christians. May God use them to spread His love and joy to many others who don’t know God’s wonderful, amazing LOVE!!
