Prayer walk held at Kinshicho for TMCC on Jan 12

We led a prayer walk for Tokyo Multicultural Church (TMCC) around the Kinshicho station (Sobu and Hanzomon lines) on the evening of Jan 12, 2012. There were seven of us from Musashino Chapel Center, English Department–the primary partner church of TMCC.

As we walked in two’s and threes’s we prayed for the future place of TMCC, more partners for TMCC, and wise planning for TMCC over the next year. After walking and praying, we gathered for some discussion and a final short time of prayer at a nearby coffee shop–and for warming up!

Our goal is to launch TMCC in early 2013, after Dale and Ann complete a year of tsunami recovery ministry in northeastern Japan.

Tokyo Multicultural Church (TMCC) is featured in a June entry on the EFC of Canada Mission (EFCCM) blog. (Dale added some comments to the post.)

Hopefully, exposure like this will help us recruit church partners for this exciting church planting project.

The Sky Tree tower at the right is under construction in the target area for TMCC. It is scheduled for opening in spring 2012. The tower will be the world’s tallest free standing structure.

Proximity to the Tokyo SkyTree at Oshiage

The Sky Tree, which will be one of the tallest structures in the world when it is opened in early 2012, is being built just west of Oshiage station. See theĀ Tokyo Sky Tree website.

Oshiage is right near our target area, and actually would make a good area for the Littles to live when they move to Sumida-ku in 2011. Just an idea.

This looks to be a great location. The area between Kinshicho and Oshiage is one of the best catchment areas for regions to the east and north of Tokyo with the Sobu line, the Sobu rapid line, the Keisei line, and the Tobu line all converging within a 1km radius. However, as a bonus, you also have the southern regions easily accessible with the Yokosuka line (and soon to be Keisei link to the Keikyu line). Also, the southeast is opened up with the Hanzomon line connected to the Den’en Toshi line, and of course, along with all points east on the Sobu-Chuo line. In addition, the Akabane/Urawa/Omiya corridor is only one transfer (via the Keihin Tohoku line), as are the Tsukuba express and the Toei O-edo lines. In comparison, it almost makes Kichijoji’s access appear somewhat limited. I just wonder if this prime accessibility is reflected in premium real estate prices–yet I could hardly imagine it being pricier than Kichijoji.
