Tokyo Travels

Yep...just got back from an awesome 3 days in Tokyo. We travelled down by night bus on Sunday night and stayed at a missionary family`s home. The Canadians arrived around lunchtime on Monday and we watched many DVD`s and generally enjoyed each others company. The point of the trip was to attend the Hillsong United Concert...which was definitely worth the money to get to Tokyo. We also went to two seminars before the concert, one on reaching individuals for Christ and the other on doing stuff for God when you`re young. The concert was AWESOME!!!!!! A real time of spiritual refreshment and also cool to see 128 people go forward to make commitments for Christ. Need to pray that these will be genuine and there will be good follow up.
I think the trip was so cool coz of the cool people I got to hang out with. Isn`t it true that you can have a blast just by being with special people...you don`t have to do anything amazing, but just being with them makes it FUN. That`s how I felt about this last few days. It was HOT in Tokyo and we didn`t have a lot of energy to do really cool stuff...but just hanging out and watching DVD`s and then praising God together at the concert was the BEST.
I`m beginning to feel quite sad....have already said the first of a few sad goodbyes...and there is more to come. The Canadian team leave on Monday....so I`m trying not to think about it at the moment...coz it`s gonna be really really sad. Still have 4 more days of excitement though. YAY!

Well that`s a brief catch up on the happenings. Trust you all are well.

    What a cool,
    did they sing: "Tell the world that Jesus lives, tell the world that, tell the world that, Tell the world that He died for me, Tell the world that, tell the world that...come on, come on and tell the world about You!!.." That song rocks and "One way" is the illest!!
    Bless you chick, it sounded like you met some cool Canadian people..That would have bought so much variation in your life
    Love Bruce, Meegs and Tivo
