It's been a week since we've been in Japan and God has definitely been moving. We've met new people on the campuses of Tokyo and Yokohama, reached out to students in fast food places, and hung out with those we met. 

This past Sunday we had a Hawaii night in which over 20 college students walked into a church for the first time in their lives. This is quite unusual for Japan as churches here are often only twice that size. 

Also, it's encouraging to see so many people we've reached out to in the past now serving God. One example is a guy who goes to Grace Tokyo. The Hawaii team reached out to him last year and he is now an active member at the church and enjoys being apart of the ushering ministry.

As we continue to touch the nation of Japan, please pray for these points:

*Opportunities to meet new people and build relationships with them

*Effective outreaches to connect people with the local churches

*Team unity so that we may continue to be effective
