Today was the second day of the Kids’ Gospel programme at Chapel of Adoration. We were encouraged to see that that children were a lot more willing to get involved and interact with the team. The kids have been very receptive and now know four of the songs for Saturday’s concert.
Over the past day Elaine [...]

Thank you all for your prayers. I took advice and decided to pay a visit to an ENT specialist who basically washed my ears out. I can now hear again. I now have a Japanese medical card.
I also appreciate all the private medical advice I received by private emails.
We will blog later, after dinner.

As you know from previous blogs we were sad to leave Yotsukaido after being shown so generous hospitality. However in true Japanese style the Chapel of Adoration have now adopted us and are showing us equally generous hospitality.
The day started at 8.45 with devotions from Sozo-sensei from Hebrews 12 (28 – 29), we then prayed [...]

Today has been a day of rest and relaxation. We all got up late, did our laundry. Some went back to bed (well only David Farrow really). Graham and Alison called to see us in the afternoon. Graham played board games with some of the lads, Alison cooked dinner. We met the translator who will [...]

Today was the day of the Kids’ concert at Yotsukaido church and also the day we would bid farewell to everyone.
After all the hard work, the children performed excellently and enthusiastically. A number of the children come from non-Christian families and it was encouraging to see their parents attend the concert. The proud parents took [...]

Phew!! It’s been a long, hard day.
This morning we said goodbye to our home-stay families. We are all very grateful to them for providing meals, beds and the opportunity to experience the Japanese lifestyle. I hope everyone was able to take something away from it.
The morning began with a final real practice for the children [...]

I too have gained access to the net, as my laptop connected to it when I switched it on, so I thought I’d continue the updating.
As Julie mentioned we have been staying with families from Yotsukaido for the past couple of days and this has been an experience. The families have been very kind to [...]

So its 12:40 and we’re all awake,well most of us are because we just felt another earthquake…boy are they unnerving or fun depending on your gender!! But we’re all fine and going back to bed now! It has to be said that it is one of the most surreal experiences we’ll have while we’re here! [...]
Two days down
Posted in Prayer, info, japan, team, update on July 23, 2008 | 6 Comments »
Well we have managed to survive yet another day, relatively unscathed – now don’t be alarmed, we are all still intact and injury free! However we are starting to feel the effects of our energy depletion from reduced sleep and the energy required to run the morning programme.
Today went very well again and the kids [...]
