What a day we've had. We had a great time exploring Nagoya and talking church planting strategy with Mike Ackerman. We started the morning having some great McDonalds, you can see the video on Mike's blog www.whereinthworldmikec.blogspot.com. From there we went and explored the beautiful Nagoya Castle. We were able to explore through entire castle and even get up to the top level to look out of the observation deck with a stunning view of Nagoya.
After the castle we went to the tea house on the Castle grounds and experienced a traditional match tea ceremony.
After the tea ceremony Mike and I braved the subway!!!!!!
Once we made it out of the subway alive, we met with lead pastor Mike Ackerman of www.msgf.com to discuss church planting strategy and Japanese culture. We had some great discussion. The more I learn about Japan the more I am enamored of the culture and the people. It really is a great place. After we met, we made our way to a super cool studio where we watched their band practice and get set for the weekend.
I can't wait to see what we will get to see and experience tomorrow.
Matt, looks like you've got this thing down. This is awesome! Keep 'em coming.
