More Than Half Way Done!















Ohio minnasan [a.k.a. Good morning everyone]! Hahaha :) We truly apologize for not updating every day, but we have been extremely busy taking care of the smaller details now that the English camp is well on its way. I am happy to report that we are feeling less exhausted each day, but God has still been challenging us throughout our time here in Japan. Please pray that our team will not get so discouraged/stressed and that we will be able to work as one unit during our stay here.

Yesterday evening, after the English camp was over, the team went out on an excursion to see the fireworks at Arakawa River. As we were watching the entire event, which lasted for almost two hours, we realized how rich this country is with its resources but how poor they were in spirit. They can afford to buy so many things, but they have yet to receive the true love that comes from God alone. Please pray for Japan that their hearts can be changed and that our coming here and teaching English are a sign that God's kingdom is forever growing.

Our entire team is grateful to every single one of you for your wonderful prayers. We are struggling, but Christ's love stands strong among us. May the children see the peace and strength of God's righteousness through our actions with them and with each other.
