East Asia Team Report - June 9

The East Asia team will report on their trip on Sunday, June 9th, at 6:00 pm.

East Asia Update

We are wrapping up a terrific week in East Asia!

It has been a great blessing to be a part of the Father's work here. We've had the opportunity to share the Good News with eight more people, including more shop owners and even the hostess in our hotel restaurant.

Thank you for all of your PRs for our team this week. It has been abundantly clear that the Holy Spirit has gone before us!

In a land of many idols, it is thrilling to see the spark of hope that appears when people realize there is One who holds their destiny -- unlike the golden Buddhas or the very Western stronghold of self-reliance.

As we depart, our prayer for the people is Romans 15:13: "Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that you will abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit."

East Asia Day 5

We continue to make many new friends in East Asia. We have had the opportunity to share with 21 more people -- including shopkeepers, basketball players, and musicians!

We have also been blessed with delicious food, great fellowship with the M families here, and by our translators, who inspire us with their boldness and devotion.

Please pray for Louis and Charlotte, two co-workers that Kevin and Danelle have met with and presented with their first copy of the Good Book. Please also pray for Sam, a young toy store owner who Woody is following up with after meeting him during the 2012 trip.

Thank you FBC family for all your prayers ... We feel them!

Day 3 Update from East Asia

Greetings from the other side of the world!

We are enjoying beautiful (summer-like) weather in our city, which has brought lots of people outdoors to the parks and squares.

So far, we have shared with 14 locals through our translators ... and we have 2 new sisters -- a coffee shop barista and a park employee!

Thank you for all the prayers. Things are going very smoothly, and we're excited to see what else the Holy Spirit has in store!

On the Ground and Going

Things are off to a great start in East Asia!

We landed in the country at 6:30 a.m. (local time) ... and then rode the high-speed train with R & Steve, arriving in our city 1:30 p.m.

After an orientation at R & N's, we went for a prayer walk in their neighborhood this afternoon.

Tomorrow -- after a good night's sleep :) -- we'll be doing some more prayer walking in the morning, then meeting with our translators in the afternoon.
