Marks of the Ministry...

2 Corinthians Chapter 6 talks about the "Marks" of ministry...mostly a joke, but I got some bad lookin blisters playing the bass guitar at the Outreach in Mihama, which isnt too good for playing guitar for the Hakugaijin Concerts 4 nights in a row after....oh my.....Lord help me! lol

Mihama Outreach

We went to Mihama to outreach last Saturday...it was a wonderful night...

They were putting out some movie character stuffed animals and stuff outside the theater...and this one was just for me....mostly an inside joke....some of the people in Oki call me Panda...especially they all saw Kung Fu Panda...so now its either Po or Panda...lol

Tommy asked me to rock out on the corner....just like the old days...lol seems like its been a long time...megan singing with me, neely on bass, cotton on electric, eder on box....sweet juice guys!

Some of my old youth decided to hang out with me...it was really great seeing these homies again...we went out and witnessed to a bunch of people...but had a long talk with two marines...Benny and ben...pray for their salvation...

MELT in Okinawa...

Here is where MELT started....right here in Okinawa with Pastor Tim at Ryudai University. Sosi and I brought the idea of MELT over to Korea and now we do it there too....MELT is international....yehhhh...

Today we did a MELT on "An invitation to a concert", where we kind of threw out our band's concert dates...ehehee free advertisement lol....

It was actually really funny, I had 2 Korean foreign students in my little conversation group afterwards, an American student from Washington, and a Taiwanese guy too...really funny all the people coming to learn Japanese! lol Great MELT class....

CCBC Morning Devotions

We had a great time in worship and seeking the Lord on Thursday morning...Tokito taught a great message about how God prepares us for the trials and things He desires us to go through.

One of the girls from Korea, Eunhye, wanted to give one of her famous earrings and cell phone clips to one of the girls, Kelsi, from the Bible College. She loves them Eunhye! See says "Thanks!" (Sosi....makes sure she sees this! thanks bud)

Wednesday Night Bible Study...

It was a blessing to be apart of service at Calvary Chapel Ginowan! It was great hearing some Japanese worship again, just relaxing, worshiping Jesus!

During the worship service, Irma was holding the sleepy Masaki (Tim and Ayu's baby)...he crashes when he hears worship....sweet huh? More of him soon!

It was good being back at service here, to see one of my home churches!

Hakugaijin Juice!

Well here it is....finally I got to here our bands CD! It is such a blessing to see God move in our little band....you're so cool God! I'm so thankful to be apart of God's work in a band that preaches the gospel in English and Japanese, and also in a rap/worship/rock style that many people can relate to and like.

Continue to pray that these CD's get out to people that need encouragement or that relationship with Jesus! We will be practicing and preparing for the concerts, pray that God would bring much fruit from our time that is given to Him!

New Life Academy...

Well Tommy and Rob picked me up at the airport and took me back to the church, and people were getting ready to go to New Life Academy for the weekly Bible Study there. I decided to go along, I havent been in some time. Tom Cotton let me lead worship, it was a blessing.

Eder is teaching the students (Jr. High and High School kids) through the book of Matthew. It was a great study, and afterwards, Rob got them together for a game. It was great to see them all again!

I'm back Okinawa!

ただいま沖縄！I'm back Okinawa...its soo good to see you again! The weather is so nice right now....literally no humidity, the sun is out, its about 70 degrees, nice wind.....ahhhh! Perfect weather to relax in beautiful Okinawa!


Well I made my little trip out here to renew my VISA to stay in Korea for another 3 months, but also to help out here in Okinawa. I'm going to stay here for 9 days, helping with a Worship Conference that Calvary Chapel Ginowan is hosting, and then doing 4 concerts with the band I'm in, Hakugaijin. We made a CD before I left Okinawa, and now it is being released! Praise the Lord!
