Final Faceoff

Every year the girls vs. the guys for the wishbone championship. Wednesday night it was 1-1. The girls' have never lost. Tonight will be the championship; Who do you think won?

Jetlag claimed the first Victim

Samuel could not handle; he was too tired and gave into sleep. Maybe it was the turkey, who knows. Sleep good bro, you will be wide awake at 2am.

CCBC Thanksgiving Celebration

In honor of the Hawaii students we moved our celebration to Friday evening. They were in mid flight Thanksgiving day so they did not miss out! We are grubbin down.

Po and the Hawaii Group

The guys from Hawaii arrived safely and they hit the ground running. They began the morning by sharing their hearts with us in devotions. Then it was off to Kakazu Ridge for some Okinawan WWII war history. After lunch (Joel famous fried rice) they went to Mihama to shop and exchange money. Next stop; Thanksgiving Dinner, then out witnessing. Whew! They are going to sleep good tonight.

Taliya Translates

Pretty awesome, this is the first time that she has just translated on the fly. Her English skills are growing rapidly, so blessed as she continues to grow in Jesus.

Dessert's Galore

So many sweets! Sugar heaven, Japanese style, black coffee and desserts, the only way to go! In the words of Joel Coronado "too much!"

Thanksgiving Celebration

We are so glad that we had the celebration downstairs instead of upstairs. There were so many people and everyone is so full! Pastor Tim gave a great Thanksgiving devotion. So many Japanese people.

Back in Okinawa

Korea was a super blast! But it is sure good to be back in the warm weather of Okinawa. We were in pants and jackets in Daejeon but here on island we are wearing t-shirts, shorts, and flip flops, whooooeeeee! It is good to be home!

Filipino Family

This is part of our Filipino family in Korea. They are from Iloilo and they are studying in Korea. They were such a blessing to be around with. Like I tell everyone, the best thing about the Philippines is the Filipino people. It was a bummer leaving them, just when we were getting to know one another. God bless you gang, we love you.

Heading Home!

We had such a wonderful time in Daejeon. Pastor Mike and Cobb are great brothers. The team had such a blessed time ministering to the Korean Brothers and sisters. Pastor Victor showed up and blessed us with a special prayer. It was great seeing him. Next stop; Fukuoka.

Ministry at "School of Tomorrow"

Daniel teaches at SOT. He has been there for almost a year. It was a blessing to share Jesus with all the kids. Good job Daniel!

Hi everyone! Here is a recent photo of our brother Juan-Diego; He has recently been accepted to the land "down under", Australia. He will be heading out for a missions trip to serve along side YWAM for a few months. Please keep this special brother in prayer. Isn't it so exciting to see so many people taking steps of faith for the Lord. God bless you bro! Be blessed, and you will be in our prayers.

Holy Cross Gathering

This is a Christian Coffee House in Daejeon and it rocks the house. It is so beautiful, it puts Starbucks to shame. People come and just chill out. Sam is loving it.

GooDay Mate!

This is Bradley our good brother from down under! We spent a lot of time with him talking about Australia and how he came to know Jesus Christ! Go is doing a good work in his life.

Thanksgiving Celebration in Daejeon

Today in Korea all of the Christian Churches celebrate Thanksgiving. So we gathered at CCDaejeon to have a fun get together with the church. There was thanksgiving fixin's for everyone. The blessings of Costco gave us some fat apple pies and pumpkin pie, out of this world. Thank you CCD and thank you Jesus!

Ministry at Cheonan Church

On Sunday morning, Pastor Cobb, Taliya, Nichole and I headed to the Cheonan church to lead worship and serve at the church. Taliya did a great Jon of leading worship. It was a blessed time.

Busy Day Finished

After a busy day everyone gets online. We are all at Dunkin Donuts checking our email and getting caught up with life. The only thing is that we are not talking to each other. Hurry up, it's time to go home and get to bed. Tomorrow will be a super busy day.

House of Hope Servants of the Lord!

The title says it all!

Daikon for Everyone!

This is pretty amazing! At the "House of Hope" they are harvesting daikon (it is called something else in Korean). They dug this huge hole, then they put the rice stalk on the bottom, then they fill up the hole with the daikon and cover it up with more straw and then cover it back up with dirt. Because the temperature will drop below freezing, this becomes an outside refrigerator for the rest of the season. 12 inches below the earth does not freeze so the daikon will be kept fridge cold. This is amazing! We chopped off the tops of the daikon, then hung the stalks to dry in the greenhouse, and hand loaded the daikon into the hole. We are real Korean farmers.

Taliya and Yuko lead Worship

At the "House of Hope" the people gathered as we had a time of worship before we went outside to do some work. The students did a great job of showing the Love of the Lord!
