Missions.

I will be leaving for Japan this Friday on an 11:15AM flight, final destination Toyohashi, Japan. We will be serving the people in Toyohashi and the surrounding area by teaching English for two weeks, helping out in street evangelism by playing songs / worshiping in the streets, hosting a worship night, performing skits, a body worship, trying to build relationships with the youth there in hopes of empowering them to take ownership of their faith, helping out at a 5-day retreat doing who knows what...

And all this to spread the love of Christ. It looks like it could be pretty easy to get caught up in all of that, but when everything is stripped away, that's all that matters really.

I hope that my life will come to model this truth that I so easily forget. Seems like that's been the theme these past few weeks.

I'm not sure if I'll have the time and/or energy to put a post up here before I leave, so in the case that I don't, if you read this blog, please, please, please pray for me. I do believe I'll have internet access there on and off, so I'm going to try to post things up here when I get the chance. I hope to write a lot, whether on a computer, this site, or a journal; I'm sure God will do some really crazy things.


On a random side note, it's really frustrating when I think of something really great to write about during the day and then forget about it later (like, right now). Or, when I remember it, but just can't shake that feeling that there was something big about that topic that I can't remember now, but thought of previously. D'oh.
