World Communion Sunday

Just when the freshness of being in Japan starts to dissipate, something happens to focus my thoughts on Japan once again. I just got back from church where I was asked to help take part in World Communion Sunday, which is the 1st Sunday in October. World Communion Sunday provides scholarships for U.S. racial- and ethnic-minority students and international students, on both undergraduate and graduate levels. The day has taken on new relevancy and depth of meaning in a world where globalization often has undermined peace and justice – and in a time when fear divides the peoples of God's earth. On this day we celebrate our oneness in Christ in the midst of the world we are called to serve – a world ever more in need of peacemaking. I will be reading John 3:16 in Spanish and in Japanese, which I'm not so sure about. I have a Spanish/English Bible so finding the Spanish verse was not hard. However, I'm having trouble finding the Japanese version. I'm sure I will butcher the Japanese part, as my Japanese vocabulary is limited to Konichiwa, Arigato Gozaimasu and an occassional Ohayo gozaimasu. So now my search continues for John 3:16 translated into Japanese...anyone care to help?
