Team A updates: Touchdown in Tokyo!!!

Finally we have arrived in Tokyo!! After a relatively long flight and 1hr plus of immigration clearance we made it. Be prepared also for body searches and questioning by airport staff. Haha...

On touch down we met up with Ps Shingo,Travis, Rika and Hiromitchi at the airport. Fortunately we have them to show us and lead us around in the complex train/subway system. Really thank God for them. Whats more they treated us in an all you can eat Sushi meal at only Singapore 14 dollars. Wow! Who says Japanese Food is expensive??!! Its even cheaper than our Sakae Sushii!

All of us are tired out with the travelling around and the long train ride. In the next few days our schedules are packed and we are preparing to do the following:

a. Publicity of MOL at adhoc shops that are willing to put up our posters.
b. Delievery of MOL tickets to our various clients
c. Publicity of MOL thru the church
d. Prayerwalk MOL location and parts of city
e. Spiritual mapping of Waseda University
f. Spiritual mapping/Research on Japanese Youths(Harajuku, Imperial Palace, Ginza)
g. Connecting with online friends and connect them to Shinjuku(so far only one person)
h. Connecting sponsored tickets with "needy" people
i. Ministering at Youth Service at Shinjuku shalom and G12 sharing.

Looking forward to a meaningful time in Japan! Do keep us in prayer.

Love
Ps Adrian

"It was a great privilege to be hosted by our Japanese friends. I do hope to not only share more about G12 to the church people, but also to learn from the Japanese more of their style of leading a churchas well as its their culture." - Julee

"Thank God for His protection and guidance as I make my way alone from Narita Airport to our hostel. It was pouring and pouring here is Tokyo and I kept praying that the rain will cease but it didn't for the most part of the day. Then God brought me back to Psalm 135 that why am I questioning His way. The respond I should have is to praise the Lord and trust in the Father's care. 'Your name O Lord, endures forever!'" - Joy

"Other than feeling tired out, upon reflection.. I sense a stronger conviction of God's heart for His people in Japan. About the lost who can only choose to hide and unable to express themselves freely because of the society's expectations and pressure." - Chris

"To me, this was a mad rush. From visa application to back to S'pore and to Japan. Besides all those, I know that God is going to do something special for the churches here and I am thrilled to see what is going to happen!" - Dy

"After a long tiring journey on the plane, it was really heartwarming to see our Japanese family awaiting us upon arrival. Their hospitality has been amazing and I totally feel at home with them! Am looking forward to catch up with them, and to share on what God is doing in each of our lives! As much as we come to bless the people here... I know I will learn something special from this Japanese family about a dynamic youth ministry." - Ee Jay
