day NINE!!!

I am catching up :) This is for Friday June 5th :)

Well today I had the California Baptist University team with me at my campus and it went amazing! This is a choir team from CBU that has come to sing and create opportunities to share about JC! Today definitely didn't go as it was planned, but Christ really led our day! The plan of the day was for prayer walking until lunch time, lunch time of meeting new friends on Seikei campus, and then heading to Mitaka for 5ME! Well short story... we never made it to Mitaka because Christ definitely had different plans for us today! Today is Brian's day off so the team was with rachel and I at our university and we split into twos in order to prayer walk to he campus. Christ has really shown me that no work can be done anywhere if we do not go to him in prayer FIRST! So we all went off and began prayer walking for our university and were to meet back up at 12 for lunch hour. The cafeteria gets really busy at about 12:20 so I had planned for them to eat and then start singing some when they felt it was a good time. Well so then team met up at 12 except two of the guys on the choir team, so I sent the team off with Rachel to eat in the caf and waited around for the guys... Well they never showed up and long story short they ended up at a community center. They ran into a 67 year old lady that had her own choir and asked them to come join in on practice tonight at 7! Well so that definitely wasn't on the schedule, but we decided to do this and see what the opportunities would be. Somewhere between this time and the time it took them to get the the caf after already being late the boys ran into one of the 2 known CHRISTIAN professors at our university! How amazing is that :D Christ allowed these guys to already find us contacts on the campus! So we were invited to come to her class at 2:50 and help her students learn english! So that was the new plan of our day today and we just went with it! We finished lunch and the CBU team met many contacts after singing to the people in the caf and they invited them out for dinner at Shakey Pizza tonight! So we went to this class and it ended up that these students were testing one on one today with the teacher so the choir entertained the class as the students went in one on one to test. I met a new contact and was able to help him with this test! He was so excited that I helped him learn some english and our new teacher contact told me he did so well! I was happy for him :) Anyway so the choir sand for them and when class ended at 4:20 we headed to Shakeys for dinner! they had at least 10 of their new friends show up and it was a great fun dinner with our new Japanese friends :) One of which I have been told is VERY interested in learning more about JC and having FBS! The teacher has asked my team to return to her classes on Friday's to help her students with english. Please pray that we are able to invest in these students lives!

Galations 6:9

We went to the choir practice and it was an all aged choir and they were precious :) I really enjoy older people, so I had a great time singing with them and learning a few Japanese songs. the CBU team sang for them after their practice was over and the older singers LOVED it! They were so happy the team was able to come and sing with them! As the team sang about JC, the elders were able to ask questions and like every time they sang. Rachel and I were able to tell these Japanese people why the choir had come to sing and who they were singing about!

PR:
-Please pray for our new teacher contact and the opportunities that this has presented us with! Apparently there is one other Christian teacher at our university that also wants us to help!
-Pray that this other teacher contact will be great in reaching Seikei University :)
-We found out today that yesterday on campus there was a suicide in the library. Please pray for these students and the family of the lost one. There are one suicides a day in Tokyo. Please pray for these lost hearts, they have no hope and we have come to offer them the HOPE IN JESUS!
-Pray for the CBU choir team and their time here with us.
-Bless the older choir team and the questions they have about the beautiful singing the CBU sang for them.
-pray for the hearts of the students that were met today in the caf and in the classroom. Pray that the Shakey's friends will be invested in by this team and may draw interest in our Father.
