12.19.11 UPDATE

I just got an update from the east asia team. They had a 13 hr flight then a 12 hr train ride to the city they are working in. Their train had sleeping cars where they shared rooms with random people--which made for a true international experience.

They are spending their time in a university teaching english to asian students. Over the next 2 weeks they will spend their time with many of these same students making relationships, teaching them english, and shareing J with them. Today they taught 2 classes and went through the first part of book of Lk sharing the meaning of how and why J came to earth--all in front of an entire class of students. This is typically illegal where they are, and probably still is to a point, but they are using the B as a literature book, a history book about the american culture of xmas. They have asked for two requests for pr@yer. 1. for them to be bold and led by the HS in sharing about J and knowing how to take the conversations. Also pr@y they would love their new friends well. 2. pr@y the students they are sharing with will be moved by the HS to have open hearts.

Why would 7 students spend their xmas break doing what they are doing? If J is truly the hope of the world, and we know he is, then we can't keep this hope to ourselves, we tell the world.

3 days...

The east asia team of 7 leaves in 3 days! Updates will be posted here...so friends and family, check back during their trip to see what's going on.

May the name of J be known among the people. Let the adventure begin!
