So, I'm about to be fully funded! God dropped a pretty large fun bomb on me today, including talking to my uncle on the phone, whom I've never met and insisted on sending me a support check. From Uganda. Thankfully, my parents were able to help in the logistics of money juggling so that I can deposit that tomorrow. It made me very happy. Praise God!
A few prayer requests:
1. Pray for our transportation. It's been hard trying to figure out how we're going to get around once we get there. Most likely we'll be taking the bullet train to Sendai and then get a van (we may help purchase one, ironically being cheaper than renting). Either way, it's been a stresser for our team leader Orion, so you can lift him up in prayer for sure.
2. Pray for the Japanese. They are still hurting now three months after the tsunami and will be for years to come. Pray that Jesus reveals himself to them and the Gospel goes out! Also, pray for the relief efforts, that they go well and that, as we are commanded, that we unconditionally love and remember the poor and hurting.
3. Pray for our own hearts that we are loving always, quick to forgive each other, united, tight and energetic. We will have so many obstacles, language, culture, left sided driving, etc. Pray we stay strong and confident in our God and remain obedient to him. Pray that we connect intellectually and emotionally with this trip.
4. Pray that we are changed and that change filters out to the rest of Symbio.
5. For me, pray that I continue to be a support to Orion and right hand man. I am nervous, but confident, if that makes sense.
I will post again once we arrive and let y'all know were things stand and maybe, just maybe, have some fun pictures. :)
God Bless,
Lee
