Self-intro

Hi everybody in MP520 land.

My name is Hideyo Satake. I'm a second year student here at Fuller Theological Seminary. I'm from the San Francisco Bay Area. Specifically, I'm from a relatively small city called El Sobrante, an offshoot of Richmond.

East Bay Free Methodist Church a traditionally Japanese-American church is what I call home. The English congregation is about 70 members strong. After graduating from college, I raised support and served for 2 1/2 years in Japan doing church planting work with LIFE Ministries/Asian Access.

In MP520, I hope to gain additional tools for church planting work. I want to learn how to properly and effectively listen to the culture and discover what an indigenous church in that context would look like. I also would like to learn how to effectively bring about change not only within the church but in the culture at large.

I look forward to dialoguing and journeying with you through this class as we explore what God has in store for the church worldwide.
