AGAPE Team T-shirts

Thank you so much to everyone who supported us with our bake sale on Sunday! We are now at 65% of our fundraising goal, with only 4 more weeks until we leave.

 We now have team t-shirts on sale for a donation of $20. This year's design was created by Connor, and shows how important it is to "Build on Love." Specifically, we want to build on God's love, or agape.

Sharing our testimonies

In preparation for the trip, all the team members are sharing our testimonies. You can see them by clicking on the "Testimonies" tab at the top or at https://vimeo.com/album/1965023.

Welcome!

Welcome to the 2012 Japan Mission Team blog! I am excited to share about our trip and team with you!

Our purpose as a team is to share God’s love with the people in Japan, and be an encouragement as we serve with the people at Koganei Free Methodist Church in Tokyo. Throughout the twelve days, we will be participating in a VBS camp for elementary school kids and several worship services, leading worship and games, counseling, performing skits, and sharing our testimonies. Pastor Nobu will be speaking at the camp and church services as well.

The team will also visit areas devastated by the earthquake and tsunami last year. We hope that it will open our eyes and hearts to the ever-present needs, both physical and spiritual, which remain in the aftermath.

We are excited about the opportunities and experiences that lie ahead. Please pray for all the preparations that we need to do before leaving, all the team members’ health, and for the churches that will be receiving us in Japan.

Thank you for all your prayers and support us as we prepare for this trip!
