I Think We're Going Japanese!

Ready, set, GO! Our latest Global Outreach (GO!) Team is getting ready to embark for a trip across the Pacific to connect with our friends at Mustard Seed Global Fellowship, www.msfg.com, in Osaka, Japan! MSGF is a ministry committed to planting churches in the most unchurched urban centers of the world, and they've begun two new works in the Japanese cities of Nagoya and Osaka.  Matt Whelchel (aka MattyDub) and I visited these centers last fall because of KACC's partnership with MSGF in general, and our support of the Osaka work in particular.

Now we're ready to take a team to Osaka to learn more of what God's up to there, and to find ways we might be able to bless the work and the Japanese people.  Our hope is to establish a connection with the church there that will allow us to continue to send teams in the years to come.  Matt and I were excited with what we learned and saw on our last trip, and we can hardly wait to do it again!

The team is small- Matt, his wife, Jessica, Mark Wald and myself- but we're ready for action.  And we're all part of our own church plant, the Oasis Project, at KACC so we're looking forward to blessing a new work as members of a new work.  The time out will be July 23- August 6 (although I'm returning August 1) and we covet your prayers as we go. Check this site (as well as Matt's site, matthewwhelchel.blogspot.com) to keep up with what's happening with us. We want you to experience, as much as possible, some of what God will be doing with, through and for us as we venture into this beautiful Asian nation, where people are gracious and the need to know Jesus is overwhelming.  Let's go!
