Prayer and Outreach

The crew at Ginowan either heads out to prayer on Friday nights or goes out witnessing at Mihama. Either way it is an exciting night. This week Vunder is hosting the team out to Mihama. We pray for the salvation of the lost.

The Nago Crew

It was a blessing seeing the Diaz' and Pastor Tim at the cafe. They came down for a visit and Joel went out to lunch with them. Please continue to pray for the Nago crew. God is doing a good work.

Joanna Heading to California

We are going to miss her as she heads out to the Pastor' wives conference in Murrieta. Joanna will be gone for two weeks so they are going to have to hang out with dad. Don't worry mom, they will eat well.

Sunday Morning Worship

The Neely's are leading worship together and they did a great job. The rest of the band was Rockin. Check out Tatsuhiko on the base. Michal on vocals, a good lookin worship band.

Pastor John and Tom Greenroyd heading to Haiti

Many of you know Pastor John and Tom Greenroyd; this is an earlier picture of the Greenroyd family but I just found out that the brothers are heading to a missions trip October 30th through November 4th. Please keep the Greenroyd's in your prayers as the Lord leads them on this exciting trip. God has great things in store for them. These are two good brothers who have a heart on fire for the Lord!

Tokyo Boyz Sushi'ed Out

Check out those plates. Zach and Karimata can throw em down. Eating sushi in Fuchu is a big deal. If you can't run with the big dogs, stay on the porch.

Blessed Surf Outreach

Mr. Lacar from Christian surfers Ryuku gave us the opportunity to come and be a part of their outreach at Sunabe Seawall. We had a great day of eating and surfing. Shoyu chicken, mac salad and rice. A blessed time of fellowship.

Men's Breakfast

After the men's breakfast we spent some special time in prayer praying in detail for Chuck and Yumi's move to Tohoku. God is doing a special work in their lives and we are excited for them. Please join us in prayer for the Robb's.

Daily Look at the Bible College

This is what the cafe looks like three times a day as we gather for meals. It is a time to "catch up" with the days affairs. Bible College is a great way to serve the Lord.

Nago Pastor's Meeting

Pastor Tim regularly attends a meeting of the local Pastor's in Nago. The reason I am blessed with this picture is seeing the younger people there. If the Gospel is not passed onto a new generation of young people it will come to an end in Nago. Tim and Eder have an important, great work ahead of them.

Foodfest at Try Yakiniku

Since Monday was our day off and the mini typhoon was passing by us we decided to take the crew out for "all you can eat" BBQ. There were 21 of us and we almost took over the whole restaurant. It was a good time.

Pray for Mainland Japan

Tropical Storm Roke has turned into a larger typhoon as it passed Okinawa. We barely felt its effects as it passed by the East of us. But as it passed by it has gained some big steam. It will hit mainland Japan as a category 3 and then will travel up to the Sendai area about a category 2. So it will bring a lot of rain and wind, please pray for the safety of the Japanese people as the mainland is not as prepared for a big hit like Okinawa. God bless you!

Pastor Andrew Neely

It was a great honor to license Andrew Neely as one of our Pastor's here at CCGinowan. Andrew has been such a faithful witness, leader and loving husband, as well as an example of a man of God here in Japan. The Lord's anointing is upon this man and we just want to confirm that anointing and calling by licensing him as a minister of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Please continue to pray for this man of God.

Pray for Dan Bolinger

Zach and some of the Japanese Pastors went out to the hospital to visit Pastor Dan. Please pray for him, his heart is not working well and he is waiting for a heart transplant. Please join us in believing for a complete healing.

Surfing with Lacar

Saturday evening I was able to get in a session at Bowls (Sunabe enterance). Towards the end of the session the sun was going down and it was absolutely beautiful! Nice evening, then fried rice at the Dragon.

Lectures with Pastor Travis

This Friday morning we were blessed to have Pastor Travis with us teaching our lectures class. It is a blessing to be able to have these Japanese Pastors share in encouragement for the students.
