Ken and Bola Taylor, World Venture

Celebrate with us as we were together this Christmas season. It’s been 4 years since we were all in one place. We are full of joy as we enjoy each other as a family.

Anika arrived from Honolulu, Hawaii where she works as a fitness instructor/coach at BJ Penn UFC Gym. After a 3 year hiatus she is back in college taking graphic arts and Japanese.

Luke is on winter vacation from BIOLA as a Junior majoring in Public Relations. He is also a Resident Adviser for 50 underclassmen and mentoring several of them.

Victoria is 3rd year high school in Japan and is busy as varsity co-captain with her basketball team.

17 years ago, we first arrived in Japan with Anika (5 yrs), Luke (3 yrs), and Victoria who was born in Tokyo 2 months later. Time flies…

Pray that our children remain close to the Lord as they grow and mature into their own.

Both concerts gathered around 275 combined choir members with over 600 in the audience. Charity collected for GLOW (God’s Love On Wheels) was ¥270,880 ($2,300).
