Name: The Boek Family in Tokyo
Interests: We are interested in living our lives in the reality and light of eternity, all of which, comes simply when we let Jesus be our passion, then we get out of His way and let Him be LORD!
We also desire more than anything, that everyone would know Jesus and the power of His resurrection and the transforming life that comes from a saving knowledge of Him. If you happen to come to this site and you do not know where you will spend eternity...we would be so honored to introduce you to Jesus, He made the way possible by His sacrifice on a cross so that you may know for certain where your eternity will be spent. All of eternity...all for the asking!

| The boys recently had a marathon day at the school. They had been training in the mornings with their dad. They did pretty good. Jazz came in fourth place in the second grade race. And Juice came in the middle of the pack for the first grade race. Good job dudes. | | |
| Matthew 25:40
"The King will reply, 'I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me.'
This year's homeless outreach was right before Thanksgiving. Jeremiah, along with people from our fellowship, went out early on Saturday morning to Yoyogi Park in downtown Tokyo to help in the homeless ministry. There were a lot of things to give away and it was a blessing to serve, and work with other ministries there that day. Our homeless pastor, Okutsu-san, gave the message and the best part was seeing other men serving who themselves used to be homeless a few years back. Christ's love was magnified that day. | | |
| Matthew 19:13 "Then little children were brought to Jesus for him to place his hands on them and pray for them."
Every year in Japan, children are brought by their parents to the local temples or shrines to receive a blessing. Those children who are aged, 3, 5, and 7, are dressed in all sorts of fineries and brought before the temple priests. This holiday is called "Kodomo-no-hei" or Children's Day here in Japan. It is often a very important commemoration with the children dressed in special kimonos for the occassion.
 Every year at church, we bring our children before the Lord and ask God's blessings upon their lives. It is a wonderful reminder of how children are a gift from God to us, the local church body. The children are prayed for, and they receive a little gift. Here's a picture of Cali when she was 7years old on Kodomo-no-hei.
  And also this year's Children's Day blessings at both our Setagaya church location and Machida location respectively. Enjoy!
