今までの活動報告と会計報告、今後の確認を１３日水戸教会に委員が集まり、役割も決めました：代表＝オズボーン兄、小幡兄。全体会計＝イングル姉（小口現金支払い）と鈴木淳之介兄（チーム毎の小口現金を取りまとめて決算報告書の作成）。

リクルート＝鵜沢兄、相川兄。カウンセリング＝関口姉、生江姉。広報＝福山兄と赤星兄、大杉兄。宮城はオズボーン兄、いわきはレイ兄がリーダー。この他、各教会で行っている奉仕への財政支援の道も祈りながら広げるべく、年間１２００万円の予算を設定。６月よりは毎週、月～水とジョエル兄が仙台に常駐し、指揮。

Here is a report to this point of our work and accounting. On May 13 the committee met at the Mito church building and decided roles for various works. Overall leaders: Joel and Obata. Overall accounting: Ingle (disperse small amounts of funds) and Junosuke (report on funds used for each team).

Recruiting: Uzawa and Aikawa.  Counseling: Sekiguchi and Namae.  Reporting: Fukuyama, Akaboshi, and Osugi.  Joel will lead for Miyagi Prefecture; Ray, Iwate Prefecture.  We will prayfully consider support for works done by sister congregations so that efforts can be expanded.  We estimate the cost for a year at ¥12,000,000 (about $150,000).  From June Joel will lead a group into Sendai from Monday to Wednesday of each week.
