And so it begins...

It's currently 7:45am on the 13th here in Tokyo, which means it's about 3:45pm on the 12th back home. So weird! Anyways, my team and I arrived safely in Tokyo two days ago. God blessed us with an uneventful flight, efficient entry through disembarkation and customs, and a private van to take us to our apartment rather than having to brave the trains with pounds on pounds of luggage. We are now settled in Koenji for a few weeks until our long-term apartment building is completed early October.

We met with some of the JCCC staff yesterday for an orientation and were actually able to go to a campus for a few hours of meeting students. We went to ICUHS, International Christian University High School. This high school ministry is one of the up-and-coming movements that God has recently really been blessing. They have a program called Let's Talk for students to come to and establish relationships as well as open opportunities for the gospel to be shared.

Please keep this ministry and the high school students involved in your prayers. While the high school and its sister university bear the name "Christian" there is actually quite a lot of persecution towards believers and any sort of evangelistic activity.
