Japan Mission Team 1: Day 2 > 선교 일지

• 목록

Hello from Japan! ♡

It is currently 3:20 pm on Tuesday of our 1st week here, and some of us are gathered around the computer typing this to you. ^_^

We just finished our second day of English camp and VBS, and we are now getting some rest and talking about our plans for the weekend!

Today was better than yesterday. We all got much more sleep than the night before and felt more prepared for the day because we had the night before to gather together.

We decorated the church last night! Here is a photo of one side of the chapel room.

Here, we are doing the "Carol" pose with Amy, Mua, Moana, and Lala. 

These three girls came to last year's English camp and VBS and joined us again this year!

Here is Ashley with Lala!

Opening prayer time~ (before the English camp, approx. 9:30 am)

This photo was taken during break time. The kids were much more restless today... please pray that we can have the endurance to still be patient and teach them with kind hearts!

Hello, it's Jin again! ^.^ Today, I smiled for the photographer.

We loved praise time with the kids! It's always a popular time for us all.

Claire is an excellent and patient and fun teacher. -anonymous

Day 2: Is Jesus more than a Good Man?

We had so much fun with our message and skit today!!!

Chris played the role of Jesus, again, today, and the rest of our team were disciples!

We acted out 3 scenes of what Jesus was like and had the kids vote if the scene was True or False.

CONTEXT: Mark 6:30-44

By this time, Jesus and His disciples were being followed by MANY people. Because Jesus and His disciples hadn't eaten yet, Jesus quietly told His disciples to come with him to a quiet place to rest. The people, however, still followed them!

But Jesus had COMPASSION. 

Jesus then proceeded to seek God's face, thank God, and act our His compassion for the people by defying the disciples' expectations of love: sharing food that would simply not be enough.

For SCENE 1, Jesus wore sunglasses and was "too popular" for the people. He followed his disciples' advice to not feed the people.

For SCENE 2,  Jesus wore a disguise and hid from the people. He also followed his disciples' advice to leave the people.

For SCENE 3, Jesus approached the people as He is and embraced everyone--the people and His disciples--then performed the amazing miracle!

The kids are SO awake! They were quick to say "No!" when we asked if this was Jesus for the first two scenes, and they yelled "Yes!" when we asked if this was Jesus for the last scene.

They know who Jesus is even though they are so young. It's lovely. :)

We handed out invisible, multiplying pieces of bread and fish. :)

our praise team is awesome!

our "5 loaves and 2 fish" (for the skit)

It is still 4:09 pm here. ^^

The kids went out to the supermarket to have fresh air outside and buy some snacks.

We are planning on meeting for dinner then spending time with our Abba Father!

Please pray that we can spend our time more wisely while we are here... that God would train us to be better stewards with our time at home, too!

Please pray that we would be in FULL protection, again! 

Our brothers weren't feeling too well--with aches and pains here and there--but we've been taking better care of ourselves, and they are doing much better. :) Stanley doesn't have any aches anymore, Chris' knee is barely swollen now, and Timmy is getting lots of rest and water so his stomach heals from indigestion! Thank you, God, and thank you, family! ♥♥♥

Please also pray for the Kang family. They do so much, and we can see that they are filled with joy but can be tired, too.

Please pray that we can really work as a team and support this amazing family.

Please pray that God's will would be done!

We love you~ We thank you~

Good night, Saenuri Family.

♥,

Hannah, Claire, Sarah, Carol, Timmy, Ashley, Amy, Stanley, Chris, 난영, Jackie, Kayleah
