Nagoya Castle
Got a friend who’s new in the area so I got to pay yet another visit to the local castle. Shot this on the phone while there.
Prepping for Next Sunday
As I mentioned in my prayer letter, we’re having a 60th anniversary outreach event at my church next Sunday. As part of the event, guests will be able to check out the various ministries we have here, including my English ministry. I’ll be doing a demo of our kids’ program, and we’ll have a booth set up where people can get more info. I spent some time yesterday afternoon working on this poster with these two assistants. Thanks for the help, girls!
今度の日曜日、名古屋教会での感謝祭が行います。そのイベントには、子供の英会話クラスのデモクラスをする予定です。そして、英会話ミニストリーについてティスプレーもあるので、昨日このポスターを作りました。

Ezekiel 3
“But look, I have made you as obstinate and hard-hearted as they are. I have made your forehead as hard as the hardest rock! So don’t be afraid of them or fear their angry looks, even though they are rebels.” (Ezekiel 3:8, 9 NLT)
And now we see why Ezekiel need not be afraid. God gives him what he needs; or rather He makes him what he needs to be. And God can do the same for us. He calls us to be holy; He can make us holy. He leads us to a certain ministry; He can enable us to do it. He’s given us Himself, in the Holy Spirit.Ezekiel 2
When Ezekiel receives his call from God, the Lord warns him that the people He is sending him to are stubborn, and may not listen. But Ezekiel must go anyway. God’s call on Ezekiel — and us — is not to success, but to faithfulness. And thankfully, it is paired with an encouragement, repeated multiple times in this chapter: “Do not be afraid.” God doesn’t send us out alone. He goes with us.
New…ish Blog
Hey everyone. Welcome to my new personal/ministry blog. It’s actually a merger of my JapanLog (formerly at Tumblr) and my Devotional Blog (right here at Posterous), now found at my “permanent” URL, robinwhiteonline.com.
From here on out, this is where I’ll post ministry news, photos from Japan, thoughts on what I’m reading in the Word, and occassional other Japan-related or personal stuff.
If you’re looking for my comics-related stuff, you can go here or here. I’m also on Twitter, if you’re into that, with both a personal and a Doodze-related account. And in case you’re wondering, no, I don’t do Facebook anymore.
