• Friday, June 27th

  Hello everyone!  This is Ophy.  Before I begin recapping the team’s activities for Friday, June 27^th, I just wanted to say thank you for caring enough about God’s kingdom to read our xanga and to support us through prayer.  We are so encouraged by you all.

   

  Yesterday, Evelyn started off our day by directing our attentions to John 13:34-35 during our team meeting.  She shared about how God has been teaching her about loving others, particular those of us on the team.  She reminded us that love starts within the team before it can go out to unbelievers.  Through our love for one another, the unbelievers we meet may know that we are Christ’s disciples.  She ended by challenging us to be selfless despite how we feel or how tired we were.  Please pray that we will do exactly that and seek ways to encourage and serve one another. 

   

  Since the staff at HBC was gracious to give us a free afternoon to rest, we had the chance to experience Namba!  Namba is a HUGE shopping district that runs multiple blocks.  There, we got to have delicious Hawaiian burgers for lunch.  We also had a fun and relaxing time discovering many cute and innovative Japanese products.

   

  After a delicious sushi dinner, we attended the young adult Bible study, where Okada Sensei taught on Exodus 19:3-6.  I was thankful to be reminded that just as God made Israel His chosen nation, He also made all Christians His chosen people (1 Pet.2:9-10).  The Lord chose to reveal to us His magnificent work, loving kindness, and faithfulness to us. He chose us so that we may proclaim His glory to the world.  It is such a comfort to know that as His children, our Heavenly Father is with us as we seek to fulfill this purpose.  He carries us like a mother eagle carries her young on her wings. 

   

  Please pray that we will rely on Him to do His work.  We thank you once again for your faithfulness as prayer warriors.
