[:en]A REFUGE FOR THE BROKEN PEOPLE
There was a Japanese who had cut-off himself from the society.  He stopped going to school because of poor grades and bcame like a modern-day hermit.  Luckily, we helped by joing a youth club in Tokyo known as an IBASHO-a safe place where broken people could start reintroducing themselves to society.

We are a community of broken people.  But in Jesus, we are being transformed and made whole.  The church is to be an IBASHO, where people with struggles or brokennes can experience God’s love.  We should show the hurting the compassion of Christ by giving them a safe place to rest.[:]
