[英語のみ] Rae-Anna and Jef continue to converse about how to thrive in Japan as a follower of Jesus with a focus on vulnerability in building relationships. Japan is becoming more and more of an isolated and lonely society.
Recently a young lady said to me (Jef) that she has become “used to life with no-people”(人のいない生活に慣れた。) With this in mind, as a child of God you have to develop a STRATEGY for success in Japan, and a big part of that will be establishing good friendships. #1 of course, is our friendship with God. But so many principles overlap with our human relationships too.
This TED talk on Frientimacy is helpful to strategise how to deepen our friendships. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hmJyWreER7A
