Japan Mission Team 1: Day 5 > 선교 일지

Hello, family~ 

It's already Friday night here in Higashikurume, Tokyo!

We finished one full week of English camp and VBS. 

Every day has been so long, but we're thankful that they were. :)

This week, there were only about 20 kids everyday, but because next week is officially summer vacation, we are expecting around 50 kids!

Here are some photos we took today!

We sang Making Melodies today so we can sing it to their parents at the Sunday service!

D3 Day 5: Now What Do We Do?

It was a little hard to have everyone's focus today. ^.^;

We acted out two scenes of what a Good Shepherd is like.

The first "shepherd" ran away when the wolves came to attack his sheep.

The second Shepherd cared for, protected, and died for His sheep.

We shared about all the evidence we collected about Jesus:

- He really is God's Son.

- He's more than just a good man.

- His death was real.

- He really is alive!

But... now what?

We asked the kids to place their hands on their heart and to say that Jesus died for this heart. Jesus died for me.

We then asked three questions!

Do you want to know your Good Shepherd, Jesus? Do you want to feel God's love? Do you want to share Jesus, God's love?

After answering these questions, us teachers went to the kids that rose their hands and prayed with them.

We can only be curious about what were in the kids' minds and on God's mind at the moment too. 

After VBS was done today, we all went to do our own agendas.

Some of us stayed at the church until 3:00 pm to clean or to help with the pre-k English camp and some of us went to the nearby supermarket.

At 4:30 pm, we got together to practice our skit that we are preparing to share with the congregation at the Sunday service!

Here is a clip of our most recent run-through! Aren't they great? ^^

Today was only our second day of practicing!

It's now 7:51 pm here!

We just ate dinner and are planning to go to the supermarket to have a team time and eat ice-cream!

We hope to bless the people at the supermarket by prayer walking inside.

Please pray that the seeds of prayer we plant will grow!

Please pray that we can grow in our faith while we are here. 

Please pray that we can see each other how God sees us.

Please pray that we can learn to support each other, support the Kang family, and support the kids with all that we can.

Please pray that God's will would be done!

The Kang family (the pastor's family that we are staying with and helping out) is always doing so much for us and the kids.

Please pray that they will have strength from the Lord! :)

We really want to follow our God's direction.. please pray that we can hear his voice and know his heart more!

Please also pray for me (Amy)! I want to be able to lead in love.. it's been very easy to be frustrated and to feel defeated for me, so please pray that my eyes will turn back to Jesus if I look away! 

Thank you so much for reading this and for praying for us.

It's been really fun to share how we've been doing and to have Internet connect us, who are thousands of miles away!

But it's more exhilarating to remember that the Spirit keeps us as one us across any distance!!

Hwaiting, Saenuri family!
