Ishibashi Family Camp

Peace be with you!
Recently Masami and I had the opportunity to speak at Ishibashi church and (with the help of our Thursday group and our Trek Intern Liam Bull) we put together a series of short videos! Please take the time to view the videos below. You can either watch a short skit video or, if you have the time, you can watch the whole combined presentation at the bottom.

The story behind these short video parables goes like this...
One of them I received in a dream and the other two I received while praying. I wrote them all down in my journal and, since they all have to do with hospitals (and since our church has lots of medical professionals) I decided to present them together in a sermon. The church asked us to make the presentation bilingual so all of the content is in Japanese and English.

Please enjoy!
Also please give us some feedback!

Thank you for praying,
Cory and Masami
