day 13: the team reunites

Greetings from Tokyo!
Yesterday was a good day, the Tokyo team went to Central Bible Church and ministered at their morning chapel. We sang a few worship songs and then Tim Templeton gave a message about working with Jesus rather than merely for Him. After the service we made relationships with the students and they were encouraged to continue to reach for more of the Lord. After that we went to Tokyo University to a bible study. We sang Amazing love and it was soooo goood! All of the team members sang with confidence and a spirit of worship filled the room. Robert Monson preached on how to sustain the Christian life in the midst of hardship and mundane activities.
After we ate lunch the Shimada team arrived in Tokyo, and we were so happy to be together again. We enjoyed each other at J.S. Burger and talked about our last week of ministry. Each person shared a moment that they most enjoyed and something that was a hard for them. During the meeting Robert called us to ask the Lord how He feels about the people of Japan. It is important that we know how the Lord sees them so that we can give everything in ministry.
Today half of the team is going to Dokkyo University, and the other half is going to Wasada University. We will be ministering at bible studies, handing out flyers, prayer walking, and doing some prophetic and conversational evangelism in the on campus.
Prayer requests:
-that our team would press in for the fullness of what God has on this trip
-the evangelism parties that we are having this weekend
-creativity to preach the gospel in conversations with unbelievers

Thanks for listening
Over and out
