Although we officially finished our programme yesterday, today was really our final goodbyes to some of the children, parents and helpers at the Chapel of Adoration. We had hoped that the second time around would be less emotional but the immense generosity and hospitality of everyone here made it every bit as difficult. We are [...]

Day 2: Chapel of Adoration
Posted in info, japan, update on July 30, 2008 | 11 Comments »
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 [...]
Back at Yotsukaido

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 [...]
Home Stays Part 2

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 [...]
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 [...]
A Day with the Orrs

Orientation is over but we still didn’t get a lie in! Out at 9.30, we took the train with Graham, Alison, Kathryn and Daniel to Tokyo. The first stop was a Japanese Paper Craft Shop. To our surprise, Graham set up a workshop for us all to take part in and we had a go making [...]

Prayer Points:
Please pray for the bi-lingual service this Sunday and the practices on Saturday with the Japanese musicians. Ask God to help us as we take part in teaching two new songs and socializing with those we meet. Pray also for Elaine as she gives her testimony at this and for good communication with the [...]

This is how to say ‘Good evening’ in Japanese as we learned this morning in our language introduction. Everyone, well, mostly everyone arrived at the orientation on time today- indicating that the worst of the jetlag might be behind. However Graham has helpfully suggested that it isn’t going to be until tonight that the effects [...]

KIDS’ GOSPEL TO JAPAN
Posted in info, japan, status, team, tagged gospel, japan, mission on February 21, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
This is a familiar piece of Scripture,
For God so loved the world that he sent His only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.
John 3: 16
Familiar to us, but not so familiar to the people of Japan. The population of Japan is 125 million [...]
