On Saturday, April 6, we hosted a free English language camp. David had the idea to offer free classes for one day. This would introduce people to the English teachers, the classes we offer, and get people into the church.
The new Japanese school year begins in April and ends the following March, so we decided to do the camp the last Saturday of their break in between school years. This way the students would have no homework and no special programs. It would be a Saturday that they would potentially have free.
We had 20 people register ranging in ages from 3 to 70, and 19 showed up for a class. It was awful weather that day, so we were thankful to have only 1 person not show up. So far a few of the students have come for a trial class with either David or Hilary, which is great. We consider the day a success and hopefully students from the camp will join an already existing English class.
Just a few photos of the day:

Thank you for praying, we will let everyone know in our April newsletter if any students signed up for an English class from the camp.
