Our good friend at Calvary Chapels Okinawa and Ginowan is moving on to his next post. Joe has served in the military for over 20 years, but tomorrow he is leaving on a jet plane with his wife Tami, and heading to beautiful Hawaii to serve at
Calvary Chapel Honolulu.
Joe served as worship leader at Calvary Chapel Okinawa for a period, but because he needed surgery on both his shoulders, he was unable to play guitar for awhile. Still, Joe worshiped the Lord with all his heart. I know we shouldn't be looking at (or focusing on) others when we're worshiping, but man, Joe looked like an angel as he lifted up God's name. That is the picture I will always have of Joe in my mind.
So yesterday at church, we had a potluck in his honor. He said a few words, both explaining his situation and exhorting us to continue always to follow God. Ichino did a great job of translating. Then we had a special cake made for the occasion by Liz. It was a blessed afternoon.
