CMA Japan 2006 Update 5

Our bags are packed! Everything is ready and we are running out the door! We are so excited that this day is finally here! Praise the Lord!

Depending on when you read this, we may be flying over Colorado or we may have already made our first connecting flight on our way to Japan! Now some of you who have been reading my updates very closely may say, "I thought their last email said they left on Monday?" Well, you would be right! I am sorry to say, that I made a mistake on the dates when I last updated you. Our plane does leave this morning; Sunday, July 23rd at 10:32am.

We have a few prayer requests:

Pray for safe travel with no complications

Note from Hamamatsu City:

Kyushu is currently experiencing very intense, heavy rain right now, and they say they are going to have 7 inches rain until around 6PM on the 24th (that's Sunday, 23rd in Colorado), which is probably right around the time the team arrives in Japan. We should pray that the flight schedule won't be affected too much because of this. - Hiroto

(The city where CMA team are hasn't been affected that much.)

Pray that we would adjust quickly to the time change (15 hour difference) as we will have our dance camp starting one day after we arrive
Pray that all the final details for our Camp, Concert, Seminars, etc. would come together
Pray that whenever we open our mouth we would be God's instrument
Pray for Divine appointments, people that the Lord wants us to connect with or have a relationship with while there
Pray that we will work together well with the leadership team in Kyushu
