Description:
Text transcribed from caption: TOKYO CHRISTIAN FELLOWSHIP #3391 TOKYO -- One
of the best-organized bodies of its kind in the Orient is the Christian
Fellowship Group here. Composed of Japanese Christians, American and British
servicemen, and missionaries, it was started last October. President of the
Fellowship is Miss Kiku Ishihara, a graduate of Columbia University, New
York, who now is head of a Christian elementary school here. The Fellowship
holds mid-weekly meetings as well as Sunday services. Recently the group
donated 5,000 yen to sponsor medical aid for Japanese war orphans. And it
also provides funds for the support of Japanese ministers and the Japan
Biblical Seminary. Here three members are lending support to a Japanese
Christian street meeting in downtown Tokyo. The Japanese preacher is holding
one of the new Testaments sent to Japan by the American Bible Society. Left
to right the GIs are T/5 Robert Posey, Okolona, Miss.; Pvt. Shelby Duncan,
Porterville, Calif., and Pvt. Kenneth Lundell, Kennedy, Minn. (One of a
