We have an upcoming event where we have the opportunity to talk with Noriko Kawamura of Japan! She is the women our Midwest Conference is sponsoring to go to Triennial as a part of the "Raise the Flag" campaign. "Raise the Flag" is a campaign, as stated by CWM's executive minister Ruth Hill, in which the objective is to bring international guests from the Covenant's countries of missionary service to Triennial XIII, July 22 - 25, 2010 in Washington DC. Along with attending Triennial, they will also travel within their sponsoring conference or church region, sharing about themselves and their mission work.
With financial assistance from the women of the Midwest Conference Noriko Kawamura of Japan will arrive in Denver on July 7th. ACC is hosting a dessert for her while she is here. See the left side of the blog for details!
Noriko is a licensed pastor and serves at Shonandai Christ Church in Japan. Before that she was a missionary for 16 years working with Japanese churches in England and Germany. Noriko and her husband have grown children and a grandson.
As of June 15th our conference has raised a total of $150.00 towards the total estimated cost of $3,800.00 to bring Noriko to the United States, attend Triennial XIII and be available to visit churches or groups within our conference. You will have an opportunity to donate to this cause at our event if you are able.
We are excited about this opportunity to host a gathering for Noriko and hope you will be able to attend!
