Hi Tomaru-san, It is good to see you, too. I know I've met you but it has been such a long time. . perhaps when I passed through Kenya for the first time in late 1988 or at meetings in other countries. I wish it was easier to find more of the original japanese missionaries through social networking sites like this one. I would love to see people like Mr Ito from Burkina Faso, Mr. Matsuya from Togo, Mr. Obata from Mali and Mr. Sasaki from Niger and many more brothers and sisters who sacrificed so much to pioneer Africa and other parts of the world. God bless you.

Mr Tomaru,

My wife and I also sent a commemorative message to be read at the Seung Hwa. Thank you for your message.

Blessings,

Michael Irwin
