Ministry Updates from Jason and Janice Rose

Recently, we had a wonderful event with several not-yet-believers. This event was special because it was a "Sushi Night" and included a seminar on how to make sushi.  Our three oldest kids were so blessed to make their own Sushi Dinner!  We had lots of sushi rice... double what we expected and we used it ALL!  People really loved the event.
