Ken Koshio News - Upcoming Events

Dear Friends and Family,

I have been climbing Piestewa Peak and Camelback for the past 12 years, starting in May 2011. Additionally, I completed a three-year prayer for the COVID-19 pandemic, spanning from March 23, 2020, to March 23, 2023. Despite the ongoing challenges we face, it is crucial that we never lose hope.

From July 10 to the end of August, I will be in Japan. However, even though I won't be physically present, I will continue to offer my prayers at sunrise from Japan. I invite you to join me in praying for our lives to continually improve. Let us not forget to express gratitude for everything we have.

Stay strong and resilient.

One Love,

Sincerely,

Ken Koshio
