Hello everyone! I hope everyone is doing great back in the US! :0) The missions team and I have been busy with the English Camp that we haven't had much time to update the blog. Nonetheless, God has been extremely good to us day in and day out.
But even so, we fall short of His glory. In all honesty, we all have been stressed, frustrated, discouraged, etc., in one way or another, and God is truly stretching us (which we know is a great thing :D ) Please continue to keep us in your prayers. We have been tremendously blessed by them.
Today, the team and I had a debriefing after our day (it was a very smooth day praise the Lord! ^^ ). But as we went around to share prayer requests, one thing struck us hard, and it was a huge realization. Japan, and the people in it, have EVERYTHING...except the most important thing. Everything from TV enabled cellphones, 7 story toy stores, to the most updated technology in the whole world are all right at their fingertips. Yet, 98% have never even heard the name of Jesus Christ. It is very heart wrenching to know that they are praying to something that does not exist, that will not respond to their needs. The spiritual warfare is everywhere, but sometimes, we get distracted by the flashy lights and the awe of Tokyo.
As we go from one day to another in our camp, please pray that God will leave a mark on the hearts of these students through our actions, our words, and the way we interact with one another. If we do not do anything to change the spiritual course of this nation, it will simply become a footnote in the pages of history, such as past civilizations.
Please continually keep the nation of Japan, the people of Japan, and us in your prayers. And we will continue to keep you updated :)

Hey Japan Mission Team!
Thanks for the updates.
(And the picture slides)
We're praying for you guys here in Atlanta.
I hope that God is definitely stretching you guys in Japan, just as he is stretching all of us.
Continue to work hard in serving our LORD. Even though we are not there physically, we definitely are there with our hearts.
I hope God is serving YOU all in Japan. :)
GOD IS GOOD!

We are so praying for all of you. Perhaps your students will be the generation that brings revival to Japan... ...Our God is Great!

Hello, Missions Team.
I am glad to hear from you guys some remarks of the spiritual warfare. Realizing what Japan really needs is a greater achievement than teaching English. Since your heart goes with God, He will surely help you leave a mark on the hearts of those students through your actions, your words, and the way you interact with one another. We will keep on praying for you. God bless you, all.

Hello Japan Mission Team!!
I didn't realize you guys were making the slideshows until now.
It's so good to hear from you all!
I pray and hope that we are fulfilling God's will with his love and strength in Japan!
And I'll continue to join you guys in prayer for the hearts of the people there.
Btw, every time I remember you and pray for Japan, I'm growing in the way the Spirit leads and uses my heart :)
It's excitingly awesome.
I'm all the more encouraged and motivated to be serving with you guys in prayer and heart :D
Grateful,
YoungJin
