◎Tokyo Life Church CONNECT GROUP (Japan, Tokyo) We have been meeting once a month since April 2021 with students who have returned from studying abroad, mostly English-speaking countries, and those who are thinking of studying abroad. Through this gathering, we hope to get to know each other and build a relationship of encouragement.
We value the time to relax and talk about each other. We also freely discuss various topics in the group, ranging from how to study English to various thoughts and feelings we had while studying abroad. At the end of the meeting, we also pray for everyone. Both Christians and non-Christians are welcome to attend. We usually have our meeting on 4th Saturday of the month.
Next meeting will be on May 31st.
