Koenji Apartment

Just arrived in Koenji, Tokyo last night! We were welcomed warmly by Campus Crusade staff, STINTers, other students, a quaint apartment, beef bowls, and taiyaki (fish-shaped pancakes with azuki bean inside). Here's a clip from today.


We have a team of 13 students and 2 staff. Our team went to a briefing at Vanguard University the weekend before we left. It was a great time of sharing, singing 4-part harmonies together (we all love music!), praying, laughing, crying, and praising the Lord for graciously providing for our whole team financially!

Please pray that even as we start off this trip, we would be focused on our vision of seeing lives transformed so that every person in Japan has an opportunity to really understand the Gospel and to know God intimately.

I'm incredibly jet-lagged, so I am going to sleep now :) Thanks for reading!

    This post always reminds me the day I mat everyone in your team at Koenji apartment. But especially, this time, the video brings tears to my eyes....you guys are leaving tomorrow. I'm already sad, even we can see each other in LA soon. OMG, can't stop my tears streaming. The time we spent together in Tokyo were one of the greatest memories of my school days.

    I. LOVE. EVERYBODY. IN. YOUR. TEAM.
