When I was in Indonesia as the rst missionary from Japan to Indonesia after WW2(1966), Dr.David J. Cho visited Indonesia during his mission survey work in Asia. We met for the rst time in Batu, Malang, East Jawa.This meeting, I believe was really a remarkable and historical encounter not only for my life, but also for the Japanese church.

At that time, he invited me to attend the first AMA missions conference in Seoul, Korea in 1973. But before long, since I was sick with a very serious tropical disease, I could not attend that significant missions conference .
