BUR Japan Summer Tour & Fall Music School

This summer (July 30–Aug 17) Brocks Upper Room Music School traveled to Japan! Tim & Melody (& 3 of our teen leaders–5 member BUR Team) joined a Suzuki Chamber Orchestra (15 total) in Matzumoto & Karuizawa. But before joining the larger team, the BUR team ministered in the Osaka area Aug 1-6, basing out of YWAM in Takatsuki. They ministered at OnFire Japan, YWAM Takatsuki, Praise Power (an indigenous prayer gathering) & New Hope Osaka International Fellowship. There were many opportunities to worship Jesus & share God’s word while offering free concerts!

Brocks Upper Room (KC) Suzuki & Worship School of Music (SOM) resumes Aug 19 (thru Dec 19). Fall semester will feature 6 Group & RNT (Rhythm, Note-reading & Theory) classes. (See Outreach Details Below)
