Living Hope Missions

Hello everyone back home!

This is our First of many Blog entries for our 2010 Missions Team!

We have arrived safe and sound last night to Tomei International Church.
Our flights went as smoothly as possible. We thank God for blessing us with good pilots and stewardesses!

My first impression of the church here was cozy. It is a three story church with the cafeteria in the first floor, the chapel in the second, and Pastor Kim Shinho+bedrooms/classrooms on the third.

The church members are as welcoming and loving as all of the previous teams have stated and the town we are in is nice.

We have a soccer field and a park workout area next to the church. Joseph, Jeremiah and I went running this morning and explored the neighborhood. I am already starting to realize a difference in our two countries. They are subtle but still there.

Our agenda for today is to finalize all of our planning for the english camp and to continue to get used to the time change.

Some of our Prayer Requests:

1. Prayer for our hearts to continue to grow in love for our God, so that we can love the people in Japan even more.

2. Prayer for our team to understand and work well together.

3. For Tomei Church to grow in spirit and number with this opportunity to reach out to the community.

4. For my sister's, Grace Kim, leg. She is still has a lot of pain in her leg.

in God's hands,

Sam
