Outreach Begins!!!

--For the next 2 weeks and all the weeks that follow, starting tomorrow (6-13), myself and the rest of the DTS students/some staff will be beginning the outreach portion of our time here in Tokyo, Japan. The upcoming two weeks we are partnering with HiBA (high school born again) a ministry to high school students that has been active in sharing the gospel for 50 years to high schoolers throughout Japan with whom our YWAM base has partnered for the past 3 to 4 years.
--The basic set up for this ministry/outreach time, called gospel team (GT), is divided into 2 groups: support team and students teams. Student teams (which is the section I am in) are dedicated to waking up super early like 5-530am to pass out invitations/tracts to high school student for rallies that occur after school lets in the afternoon. At the rallies there is social time like games and ice breakers, worship times, testimonies, small messages, and small groups to discuss the messages/testimonies and encourage relationship with Christ Jesus or prayer about matters the students may have. Support team is basically what the name says they are the ones behind the scenes doing laundry, making food, handling money for lunches, cleaning the areas we are sleeping in, etc. These staff are the ones who allow all the students to basically do ministry freely and effectively.

Please, like you have all done so effectively and efficiently when i have asked of you, partner with this minisrty, myself and the rest of the DTS students in prayer for the high schoolers of this nation.

1) Thank God for this wonderful opportunity to reach hundreds even thousands of Japanese student with the good news of Jesus Christ
2) Pray for a Softening of hearts - that students all throughout Japan would be open to hearing and accepting the gospel.
3) Pray for myself and the staff - for extreme amounts of energy, drive to push forward in mundane/monotonous, patience, love, boldness, wisdom, and rest. For the next two weeks because we will need all of them especially energy, drive, and rest (if we have those the rest follow suit).
4) Praise God for all the students that will come to see and know the Lord, there has been at least one each year for the past 50 years. Pray that those who do come to know Him live and walk out their newfound relationship and that they will grow in accelerated ways.

5) Pray that the Lord would take this ministry and all of those involved, including the YWAM group, to the places in Him that we cannot go to without Him taking us there. That He would show us His love, His might, His power, and His extreme favor. That we would walk like Jesus walked and look like Jesus all throughout Japan.

Thank you so much for your prayers, and your support, I will update you as much as i can about what the Lord is doing, but if not you will hear back from me in about 2 weeks when GT is over. God Bless
