On Saturday June 11th Tim, Sharon, David, Lucas, and Andy (myself) went to Megumi church but I don't remember where the location was. This church service was the first international church service and it would be spoken in English. We began with a song and then Sharon gave her testimony of how the Lord has given her His Spirit and protected her throughout her life. Afterwards, Joyce gave the message. We spent some time in ministry, praying for people. Overall, it was an excellent service. This might have been the day where the 5 of us went to a sushi bar and Lucas ended up eating a TON of sushi.
"Sharon eats anything; Lucas eats everything."

On Sunday June 12th, my team began our day at Sayama church in Sayamashi which was over an hour away. We sang a couple songs and did a skit that Kenneth, Liz, and myself made up a few days before. Tim gave a clear message on walking out life with the Spirit and what it looks like to lean on Him. Then we had a time of ministry and we asked the Holy Spirit to fill some of His people with a new language and fire on the inside. I never heard the exact number, but there were at least a few who were filled with the Holy Spirit.

Afterwards, one elderly woman shared her testimony of being in a car accident and went up to heaven 3 times. What she described was actually the building structure/decorations of the City of God, the New Jerusalem. We ended up praying for the healing for her knee. After some time of prayer, with David leading us, she was able to put strength on her broken leg, whereas, she normally would not have been able to walk on it at all. Praise God!

On this same Sunday, we went to GAP church to meet with Bill and Carol and their congregation. I had been here about one and a half years ago, so it was wonderful to see them again. Our team lead most of the church service with 4 songs and 1 skit. Bill gave the message that night and then we had another time of prayer ministry. Later that night, the whole team joined together and we went to "Sweets Paradise." Personally, I think it was a deceiving name. Let me explain:

Sweets Paradise is a restaurant where you pay a flat fee and then you can eat all that you want. They have full entree meals, cheesecake, salad, and ice cream. The meal was awesome and I had 2 or 3 courses of that. HOWEVER, I tried all of their chocolate cakes and... well... they just weren't that delicious =(
So I just spent the rest of the night on ice cream =)

That is all for now. We had a busy couple days and we missed the rest of the team, and we were glad to have them back. Currently, everyone is back in the States so here are a couple prayer points:

1) Continued grace and strength to love Jesus wholeheartedly now that we're back in normal life
2) Keep us safe from the enemy's plans

Amen and amen. Let's stand.
