Well, the day is finally nearing!!
I am currently on the train heading for London, as I will be flying to Japan tomorrow!
The flight will leave at 7 in the evening from Heathrow and I will arrive in Narita airport at 3pm on Sunday.
The Summer was a really blessed time, being able to spend time with family, and also seeing the Lord at work in different peoples lives.
The Three conferences I attended and took part in were great, it was great to see people challenged to a deeper walk with the Lord, and seeing young Japanese people so on fire for the Lord was nothing but a blessing. One guy has contacted me and told me he believes he is called to full time Christian ministry and is currently praying for guidance. Please pray that the Lord might open the right doors for him.
The outreach with EJC(Edinburgh Japanese Church) was also good, though some events we had no non-believers turn up! I truly enjoyed the fellowship with the Faith Mission Bible College students, and thank them for the team work they offered. Please do remember the students at FMBC, that they might continue to be prepared for the mission that awaits them.
Please also remember Steve, who we met on the streets while doing openairs. He is an alcoholic and a beggar, who was desperately seeking love and hope, and knows of his sinfulness, so please pray that he might come to the Lord in repentance and faith.
One of the first things to do once I get to Japan is to attend the Conference of the Bible college I will be attending, which is from 2nd of September. Other than that, I will need to get unpacked, find a part time job for support, and do some paper works!
I guess that's all for now, and next time, I will report from Japan!!

Akvaariokalojen ruokaa
Currently I am in Helsinki, resting and recovering from the 26th European Japanese Christian Conference which was held at “Jarvenpaa Seurakuuta Opisto”.
There were around 250 Japanese people and I was involved in the Youth meetings and Teens meetings.
I was really encouraged as I saw young Japanese people nodding there heads in heartfelt agreement as I shared my burden and the need of “all hands on deck evangelism”. There was such a big percentage of people who were overwhelming with love for the lord and passion for the lost.
I thank the Lord for Ms Kuroda who spoke at all the Youth meetings and how He chose to move in the way he did. Please pray that He might use these guys in there workplaces, colleges, homes and if He wills it that He might call some into full time Christian ministry.
The Teens meetings were also great, being able to talk openly of the need of salvation, and hearing from them, that they see the need for forgiveness, and that they believe only Christ can cleanse them.
Please do pray that these youngsters might make that decision to accept Christ as saviour and follow Him for the rest of their lives.
I was also truly blessed to work alongside those who were so on fire for the Lord.
At one point I asked one of the guys if he will like to keep in touch to encourage one another as “brothers in arms” as we can be so week at times, and I thought the fellowship will be valuable. But as the week progressed, we realised there were so many more, who shared the same vision and passion. We didn't want to make the group too big, so we stopped at 8 people. All Japanese guys, with a desire to be used for the Glory of God and the salvation of Japan. Please do pray, that as we start keeping in touch, that we might truly bond through Christ and become a great network of Friends who can help one another in the Lord.
Well, that's a quick report from Finland!!
Oh, boy! I am so excited to go to Japan! I don't know what his plans are, but I believe He has great plans for Himself and Japan, and I thank Him I can have a part in it.
PS: I learnt to sentences in Finish, and one of them is on the title! It means “food for the fish in the tank” which is what my host call Japanese food :D and therefore I thought it truly describes the strange mix of Finland and Japan :)
