Shusaku Endo's novel, "Silence".http://www.amazon.com/Silence-Shusaku-Endo/dp/0800871863/ref=pd_bbs_2/102-8718575-6196169?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1184565731&sr=8-2 The story is about the tragic confession of European Christian missionaries who came to Japan in the 16th century. Some of them were persecuted by Shogun/samurai. When I got persecutions/rejections from the Japanese people, that reminds me of this novel. When I met Tku's dad, he mentioned about Endo and he was interested in how Endo's novels have influenced the Japanese people. Now, my memory came back! I read this book when i was 17 and afterwards, i started looking for churches. Thanks, Arigato- Endo san!
Today's training really made me realize we really will go on the j-mission soon! Arigato- TJ, Jean, Paul, Justin, Hannah, and Teresa. I also appreciate Perry/Jean's CG people. They just stormed in our meeting room and bombed so many snack/cute boxes for everyone with their love. Arigato-!!
