I can't believe it's been more than three weeks since my last entry!!
time truly flies doesn't it!!... or should I say sorry for not posting any updates!!
well lot's of things have happened in the last two weeks.
I attended the JCL(Japan Christian Link) conference at Gloucester, went to Devon to see my Grandmother, went to London where I met a few people and spoke at ECCJ(Ealing Christian Centre Japanese Fellowship), then to Stafford to see a relative.
Now I am on my way back to Edinburgh to continue helping EJC (Edinburgh Japanese Church) with there summer outreach with Faith Mission.
The JCL conference was held at Red-cliff college over a weekend, with Rev Kawamura who is a Pastor from JEB (Japan Evangelistic Band) and Hugh Brown a JCL/JEB Missionary as the main speakers. It was a time of real blessing, being to hear advice and first hand experience from current and retired missionaries who served the Lord in Japan.
Also it was an encouragement to meet quite a few young people also burdened for the furtherance of the Kingdom within Japan. If anyone is interested to find out more about Japan or the JCL weekend, I encourage you to go to the JCL web-page.
It was also good to see my Grandmother, as I wont be able to see her for a while once I go to Japan. It hasn't been long since my grandfather past away so please remember in your prayers.
I won't go into detail about all the people I met n London, but let me just say there are four Japanese Churches in London, so if you know of any Japanese going to London, feel free to recommend one of these churches. There is the Emanuel Church Japanese Worship who are in Wimbledon, there's ECCJ who are in Acton, St Barnabas Japanese Worship in Fincheley and last but not least the Japanese Christian Fellowship (JCF) who meet at the city centre.
One I return to Edinburgh I will be rejoining the team consisting of three Faith Mission Bible College Students, My Mother and Rev Park (EJC Pastor) to help in the summer mission.
We will have a few special events, so please pray for each of these, and if you live in Edinburgh, maybe you can come along with a friend who is not yet a believer. For more details on the events please check this link below.
Thanks again for your interest in me, I am truly grateful for all of your prayers!
PS: hope you enjoy the video consisting of few clips from the past two weeks or so.

Well, the Edinburgh Convention has finally finished!
Though it was a busy week, I have to say I really enjoyed the week.
It was great to be involved at Rejuvenate.
There were activities and an evening meeting everyday.
Michael Ots who spoke at most meetings was great, if you have a youth event coming up, I strongly recommend him. Bill Bygroves, one of the speakers from the Main meeting also spoke one night, and that was very good to.
I pray that those who attended weren't just challenged or blessed, but that by hearing those messages, they might be changed.
The main meetings were also a blessing. Where I learnt many things from the bible, encouraged and challenged, and also refreshed.
Also, my mother and I were given the opportunity to speak of Japan at one of the meetings, and I was encouraged by those who told my that they will remember me in prayer, and took my Prayer Card.
If any one requires more cards, please feel free to contact me and I will send you as many as you like.
It has also been great catching up with Faith Mission folk, and getting to know new Faith Mission people. I want to thank you all for the great fellowship.
Through the convention, I feel I have gained a renewed vision for my upcoming ministry, and am even more excited of going to Japan.
I also have news that I have now been officially accepted by the JCL, and I will like to thank you for praying that this might come through.
EJC(Edinburgh Japanese Church) and I with the help of some FM students will be starting a outreach campaign from tomorrow, which will last the whole summer.
Please pray for:
Unity within the team,
Blessings during prayer times,
Fruit in the outreach (new contacts, new hunger in seekers, conversions)
safety
Thank you again for all your prayers.
