Hello from Toyohashi Japan.
First off, we'd like to thank everyone who has been praying or us and the mission in general. It's a comfort in knowing that we're not endeavoring in the move of God on our own, but that we have a family that is working with us through prayer.
It has been quite a rollercoaster ride for us these past couple of days. One of our team members had an issue with his visa and had to be left behind. Not to worry though, he will be joining us in a couple of days. Also, when we arrived to Nagoya, there seemed to be some issues with another one of our teammates' passport. It was all worked out and the delay lasted only 40 minutes.
Through all this, we're being reminded that patience, trust in God, and faith need to be built. This is God's mission and we're just participants in it. If it is His will that our ministry here is to be fulfilled then He will be faithful to carry it through. All we have to do is discern His voice and submit to His will.
We're looking ahead to see what God will do among us, through us, and with us. It's exciting because we literally have no idea how it's going to look. Even today, with our first church service about 2 hours away will be something new for everyone.
Well, that's about it for now. Please continue to keep us in your prayers. Remember, the prayers of a righteous man (and woman) are strong and effective. Please pray that we will grow in: Discernment, unity, submission, and joy... within the team itself and with the people of Toyohashi Hosanna Christ Church.
In Him,
Japan 09
