Purpose: Lighthouse will send a small team made up of our church members to partner with Logos Community Church in Nagoya, Japan. Logos is a church plant of Lighthouse and was established in 2022. Hide Kawai and Toshi Saito, former pastoral interns at Lighthouse, are the pastors at Logos. Lighthouse has been sending a team since 2017 to help run a summer kids program called Kids Summer English. The VBS will include teaching, crafts, snacks, games, and small groups. At the end of the 5-day program, we will have a Sunday celebration. This will be Logos' church service. Our hope is that non-churched families of the children that attended VBS will be in attendance and be introduced to Logos Community Church.
