the summer

this summer was the most that i've visually seen God move. we had about 15 or so people accept Christ and 4 people baptized! never in the history of missions in Japan has that happened in such a short amount of time. it's been awesome to be a part of everything going on here and to be a part of the new believers lives. it's an amazing responsibility to have an impact on so many lives.

besides the new believers we also have a ton of people wanting to study the bible and learn more about God.

here's a video that we made sums up the summer pretty well:


also here's a few pictures from the summer:

some sweet sweet girls that eileen taught in bible study at obirin university. they had a party for eileen. saeko is the girl on eileen's right with the white shirt. she's really really close to becoming a christian. please be lifting her up that she would finally put her trust in God the Father.





me, eileen, and nikki at eileen's going away party. this was her last evening in japan. we miss you eileen! btw, nikki is the jman that came in april. don't know if i mentioned her on my blog before. she's amazing!







a picture from the intern retreat we took. this is of the lake with mount fuji in the background. it was an amazing retreat.







liz, me, josh, and our tour guide riding elephants in thailand. we had a convention to refocus and teach us new things after being in a different/new country for more than 6 months.








me, mina, and kristin (one of the summer interns). mina became a christian in july. please lift up her growth as a new believer.









eri, megumi, yuka, and me about to watch a movie. megumi and yuka are brand new believers. please pray for their growth also. eri is a christian and is wanting to help teach megumi and yuka about the bible.






lastly, here's audrey, me, and nikki. audrey is our new roommate. she arrived mid july with another jmen. she's pretty awesome!






okay, that pretty much sums it all up. hope everyone enjoys the update!
