From May 19 to 27, three Japanese volunteers living in the US visited Tsushima for eight days. Each of them took time off from their job and came at their own expense. One of them, Noboru, is a 72 year old gospel musician. He first came to Tsushima five years ago.

It’s no secret that the world is facing an unprecedented crisis. Most people would say that crises (plural) are too numerous to list, but everything goes back to one singular crisis – a profound lack of faith and love.

We as God’s people are called to live by “faith which works by love” (Galatians 5:6), yet too often we see unbelief and unkindness even in the church.
