rikiya in kochi!

 check it out! rikiya came to kochi! 

for those who don't know, he's a renowned artist.

he has done shows in hawaii, tokyo, kochi, new york.. 

all over the place.

i'm proud to say that he is my buddy from makiki church!

he is an amazing missionary, with a heart for God.

in front of the students, before painting, 

he said a word of prayer. hallelujah!

rikiya has cerebral palsy.

but that doesn't stop him from living life to the fullest

and for God.

he put a huge smile on the students' faces!

we went to hirome for lunch after class.

i'm always amazed at 

the strong bond that him and his mother have..

the amount of love they share is incredible

cheehee! 

what an amazing meal. great friends, great fellowship.

 and God is good! we were on the kochi newspaper!

(and two news stations!)
