Soccer and Machida

Yesterday morning the guys Robert, Aaron, Tyler and I went to a park near Waseda to play soccer with a group of university students. It was a fun time of exercise and ministry. We had alot of awesome conversations where we got to talk about Christ. After that we cleaned up the student center and left for Machida. We had trouble finding the bus but God sent a random Japanese guy to come help us. The man helped us find the bus and we made it to Evergreen chapel safely. God blessed us with safe travel and amazing encounters.





Today we will be prayer walking and practicing for the ministry we will be doing this weekend.

Lunch and Dinner with Yuri-CHAN!!

So yesterday we went and had lunch at Todai with Yuri at 12 and we enjoyed being able to bless our friend. After that we headed to Waseda University and started to do worship/evangelism, which consisted with a team worshipping while the others went out two by two evangelizing in Waseda. We got to have a lot of conversations with different people and gave out a lot of tracts.


Then after evangelizing we meet up with a team who are apart of YWAM and separated into two groups and had two bible studies on campus. This was the second time we got to minister with the YWAMers, we ministered with them two weeks ago at Waseda also. It was fun being able to work with them and minister to each other and see God connect the us IHOPers with the YWAMers we loved being able to minster with them and learn from them. After that we went out and had Ramen at a place near Waseda with Yuri, Susan, Hyunhee, and JunYoung. It was another fun time of fellowship and ministry to one another.


Today the guys are going to go play soccer at a park near Waseda and minister to them. Then after cleaning up the student center (the place we stayed while in Tokyo.) We will be leaving for Machida to go to Evergreen chapel.

Powerful Day

Yesterday was an awesome day of ministry for us as a team. Kenneth led a team of Toni Lynn, Jordan, and Tyler to Tokyo University where they split into groups and worshiped The Lord as well as did evangelism. After that, Aaron and I joined them and then went over to do a Bible Study with Chi Alpha Campus Ministries in one of the academic buildings of Tokyo University.

During the Bible Study, I led worship, then Tyler shared how he got set free from performance and shame. Aaron then delivered a powerful message on having confidence before The Lord and being set free from shame and condemnation. Many people were touched as Aaron shared about God and His heart for believers.


At night, we all went and spent four hours ministering to two Japanese people. God orchestrated everything so uniquely and we were able to preach the Gospel to them in a way that was easy and understandable. They did not receive Christ yet, but we are believing God for them to both get saved.

Back to Tokyo

Yesterday we made it back to Tokyo and spent the day resting. After getting back to Tokyo we went to the student center briefed then rested for a hour or so. Then we went to the Assemblies of God bible school here in Tokyo, where we randomly meet Trish Salisbury and the Turners again. Then we went an ate at J.S. Burgers Cafe, and then finally we went to Nakano Broadway to go shopping.
Today we will be going to Todai and doing ministry there.

Church Barbecue Ocean

Yesterday we had service at the place we are staying. We led worship and Toni preached on be filled with the Spirit continually and how it isn't a one time thing. It was an enjoyable and interactive service with toni asking questions and letting everyone answer after that we headed to a park near the ocean where we had a barbecue and ate alot of meat and vegetables. It was awesome and a blessing. After that we went to the ocean. So we got to see the Pacific ocean from a beach in Japan, and for some of us their first time seeing the ocean. So overall yesterday was good way to finish our trip to Shibata and get to fellowship with Toni, Trish, and Jon Salisbury and Muriel, Trinity, Addie and Noemi Turner. Today we are heading back to Tokyo. Bullet train time.

Exercise and Ministry

Yesterday's main outreach showed us Gods perfect leadership. Trish and Toni Salisbury had rented an indoor basketball court for us so we could play sports and minister to those who came. But no one came to the outreach except the Salisbury Family, the Turner family and us. So, we went and talked to some young adults who were playing volleyball on another court and invited them to come play with us. Then, we spent about 2 and 1/2 hours ministering to them. We played volleyball, Knockout (a basketball game), and the Turner sisters taught some irish dancing which was fun to watch. We also got some contact information for the Salisbursy and us to keep in contact with the ones we met.
Today we have church in the morning and then a barbecue at the beach. We will get to see and minister to some of the people we met this week in Shibata.

Prayer walking, sitting and standing

Yesterday was a day of alot of praying for us. We went to Keiwa university and Niigata university and prayer walked both campuses. We had the chance to meet people and get contact information from students at the university. After going to both colleges we went to Grace Bible Church, which is a Japanese church in the area. There we had a prayer meeting that was about praying for Niigata. It was all in Japanese and it was fun.
Tonight we are going to be helping out with a concert that is being done by the Turner sisters and our team. Our team will be doing dramas, testimonies and songs.

Our third day in Shibata

So its been two days since our last post. So here is a synopsis of what been happening
Tuesday morning we left for Shibata taking a few trains to the Bullet train and then another to Shibata. I'n comparison to the tokyo we are in the country now. We went from seeing the city to more and more mountains and rice fields. We went from the fast paced lifestyle of tokyo to a slower paced lifestyle.



Then when we got to Tony Salisbury's house we met his wife and his son and there friends the Turners. We didn't do much of anything else on Tuesday except shop for food, figure out a rough schedule for the week, get our weekly chores, and do fold tracts.

Then Wednesday we woke up did our chores and folded tracts. Then at 10:30 we took the tracts to different houses in the area. At 7 we had a prayer meeting that the team lead worship for. It was an enjoyable time of ministering to Tony and Trish Salisbury and all those in attendance




Today the Jordan and Toni Lynn are going to be helping with a ladies bible study and 10:30. We are also going to Keiwa and Niigata Universities to prayer walk and finally Grace Chapel in the evening.
