The church family gathered for a really enjoyable barbeque party right before we headed out to watch a spectacular fireworks display in Fukuoka.
Agape love, which is generously given and shared repeatedly, truly feels like heaven on earth.

Ordained to serve.

On this day, our beloved brother, Beanto Benny, was officially ordained as Evangelist by Pastor Minoru Shojaku, Chairman of the Ministerial Certification Committee of Japan Advent Christian Conference.

Pastor Ben serves as the lead minister of the Indonesian Ministry at Agape House-Fukuoka.

Congratulations, Pastor Ben! We praise the Lord for you and your family who have blessed us with your lives. May the Lord richly bless you as you serve Him and His cause. To God be the glory!

2 Timothy 4:1-5
[1] I solemnly exhort you in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who is to judge the living and the dead, and by His appearing and His kingdom: [2] preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; correct, rebuke, and exhort, with great patience and instruction. [3] For the time will come when they will not tolerate sound doctrine; but wanting to have their ears tickled, they will accumulate for themselves teachers in accordance with their own desires, [4] and they will turn their ears away from the truth and will turn aside to myths. [5] But as for you, use self-restraint in all things, endure hardship, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry.

Eight years ago, what started as a small bible study group at the house of Bro. Beanto and Sis. Pie is now an entire Indonesian Ministry.

The first worship service that was delivered in Bahasa Indonesia language was held on November 19, 2017 with less than ten people. Fast-forward to today, there are more than forty regular members attending Sunday worship service at Gereja Agape House Fukuoka - Ibadah Bahasa Indonesia.

God orchestrated everything for His glory and for the good of our Indonesian brethren. There was no Indonesian Ministry in Fukuoka. The Gereja Agape House Fukuoka is the first of its kind in Fukuoka that is conducted in Bahasa Indonesia language and pastored by an Indonesian, Pastor Beanto Benny.

All praise and glory to you, Lord!

"being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus."
Philippians 1:6

The Lord will keep you from all harm—
he will watch over your life;
the Lord will watch over your coming and going
both now and forevermore.
Psalm 121:7-8

We rejoice with our Sister O'linka and we welcome her to the body of Christ as she professed her faith through water baptism.

We, as members of Agape House-Fukuoka, will continue to pray for her spiritual growth, guidance and her personal relationship with God.

Mikangari or orange picking (mikan=a seedless variety of orange) is a popular seasonal activity in Japan that starts in Autumn and ends in mid-winter. And so, last November 15, the Agape House Family went for orange picking where we got to pick mikan in an orchard, eat-all-you-can and even brought home a bag full of mikan.
With a side trip to Munakata Taisha to see flowers on display.
And like this fruit, it is our prayer that we may be fruitful for your kingdom, Oh Lord.

We are blessed to be visited by our ministry partners from the USA, Asia Pacific Area Director Nathan D. and International Missions Director Jeff Walsh. Both pastors gave a seminar on Relational Discipleship on Saturday and Pastor Nathan gave the sermon on our Joint English Worship Service on Sunday. Both events were followed by a fellowship over a potluck dinner.

Agape House-Fukuoka just celebrated its 24th Anniversary on August 31, 2025.

We celebrated to take time to praise God for His goodness and faithfulness in bringing us this far. We have been so blessed as a church in the last 24 years, but we still have a long way to go.

As the apostle Paul said,
"Not that I have already obtained it or have already become perfect, but I press on so that I may lay hold of that for which also I was laid hold of by Christ Jesus. Brethren, I do not regard myself as having laid hold of it yet; but one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and reaching forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus. Let us therefore, as many as are perfect, have this attitude; and if in anything you have a different attitude, God will reveal that also to you; however, let us keep living by that same standard to which we have attained." [Philippians 3:12-16, NASB]

God is not done with us yet. We have not arrived. We are still growing. And so, as we reach forward and press on, we determine to place our trust in the LORD to guide us, to provide for our needs, to continue building us up and for the outcome.

Please continue to keep us in your prayers.

Team Ora added more light to the Lord's work in Agape House - Fukuoka.

Seven young people from Soo Young Ro Church, Busan, South Korea, followed the call on a short-term mission trip to Fukuoka, Japan. Their team name comes from the Hebrew word Ora (אוֹרָה),which means "light."
