Honoring the elderly


Here is Japan, September 19 was Elderly Folks Day. Our local area had a special event.


The elderly were given a nice meal. Then Joshua (above) and the other kids gave a present to each elderly person and a short back rub.


Then the other local kids did their drums.

Japan is aging. When I was born, the percentage of the elderly in Japan was about 5%. Now it is about 25%. So one of the greatest needs in Japan is loving care for the elderly. Many are so lonely. Please pray the we and the Japanese church would eagerly and sacrificially serve the elderly.
