A New Team and a New Trip

Hello Everyone,
Right now, 6 of us IHOPU students (Robert, Aaron, Tyler, Jordan, Toni Lynn, and Kenneth) are a little over a week out from going to Japan for a 3 week missions trip (May 9-31st). Aaron and I (Robert) will be leading the team to spend 2 weeks in Tokyo and one week in Niigata doing various types of ministry and outreach. We will be mostly focused on evangelizing the lost through evangelistic Bible studies, one on one evangelism, etc. We will also be doing a number of different things intended to strengthen believers in their walk with The Lord. We will be holding prayer and worship meetings so that believers can have a place to come to in order to pray for others and to be prayed for themselves. We will be preaching in churches and helping to train leaders in a variety of topics. Please, please, please keep us in prayer as we are in our last stages of preparation and fundraising for our trip. We need grace and strength as well as wisdom with how to walk out what The Lord has for us in Japan. I personally am excited to be going to Japan for my fourth time and am feeling an anticipation in my spirit. I feel like The Lord is going to do some unusual and creative things this time around.

Blessings,
Robert Monson
p.s. Feel free to post encouraging comments as you read our blog. We will try to keep it updated between now and the end of our trip.
