The team has been gathered and put together. It has been great to see the Lord work to bring each team member on board and assemble a team of varied individuals with unique gifts to bring to the table. I'm excited to work with and do ministry with this team in the upcoming summer.
Today was our first team meeting. Deborah and Estella graciously allowed us all to crowd into their living room and spend some time getting to know one other, watch a little video on last summer's ministry and start to learn a little bit about Japan and the ministry we will be getting involved with. As usual, we will be working with Hamadera Bible Church to reach unsaved college and high school students in the Osaka area. Our hope is that they will understand the Gospel message and turn to Christ. Japanese culture and social pressure often restrain the people from seeking out our true God and believing in Him. Please pray for us as we prepare to be faithful and effective servants of Jesus Christ this summer!
