Thank you for your prayers and support. During our devotional time today, Ohashi-sensei and his wife, Pat, shared with us stories of how their church got started and the miracles God has shown them since the time they planted their first church in Fukushima, to their second church now in Otawara, where our English camp is being held. From being able to miraculously purchase a large area of land for the church (that is normally only allotted for farming), to being blessed by unexpected financial resources, we were reminded that our faith in God indeed cannot only be limited to what we have in front of us.
Here are some pictures from the third day of English camp!
1. Some kids having fun crafting butterflies...
2. Nathan and Nariko leading singspiration. Can you guess what song?
Father Abraham... had many sons...
3. Bible time! Can you guess who that is!?
4. Although the kids may sometimes say "ramen" for "amen" and "cheese" for "Jesus," we are happy they are being introduced to our savior and are communicating with Him :)
5. Playing Duck, Duck, Goose, or our version of Duck, Duck, Goose- Sit, Sit, Run!
Prayer Requests:
- For the team to call on God for strength, energy, and patience, as well as spend time with Him in the midst of the busy day.
- For reflection on today's devotional passage in Mark 8; to be reminded that Jesus calls on us to trust him in spite of any doubts we may have.
- For God to continue to bless Ohashi-sensei and Pat's ministry here in Japan as well as their vision in planting another church in the future.
We can tell that the parents are extremely grateful and the kids are having a lot of fun. We are also thankful we are able to see God's work here in Japan!
<3 Christy and the mission team :)
