Getting Ready for Japan!

Wow! It's hard to believe that in just three more nights I'll be heading to Japan with my friend and co-worker, Matt Whelchel (aka MattyDub).  We've been planning this trip for some time, as we're hooking up with a missions group there, Mustard Seed Global Fellowship.  MSGF is a group of church planters who birthed a congregation in Nagoya.  Now that church is going to begin a new work in Osaka, and we want to find out more about it.


There's always so much to do to try to get ready. Tickets? Check. Hotel reservations? Check. Travel insurance? Check. Sermon notes turned in (I'm preaching the weekend we get back!)? Check. Money, toiletries, and snacks? Check,check and check. Everything packed and ready?  Uhhh, not yet.  But I'm pretty sure it'll all get done by the time we leave Monday morning (just after midnight Sunday night).  


And we want you to travel along with us through our blogs.  MattyDub will have his own version of events along the way (http://matthewwhelchel.blogspot.com/?spref=fb) and, of course, you'll be able to get the rest of the story here!  So say sayonara, return your chair and tray table to their upright positions, and join us as we discover some fresh opportunities as a church.  And maybe even some interesting eats and experiences along the way!
