Other comments: If there’s a percentage of church attendance at this level in a ken with so few towns with churches (seems small to us westerners, but still a higher % than some kens with a larger # of churches per capita), just think what might happen if more were planted in the towns that don’t have any yet.
Sun. Beaches. Rural towns.
Tokushima City’s slogan on a website is “Water Living City”. May we come to see it be a city of God’s Living Water. *_*
