Min. John and Shaun on tokyo train

Minister John is the head leader of our pioneering church in Huntington Beach, California. He visited Japan to pray for the places where his grandfather had received much help when he was young. Together we visited four cities in 8 days. We prayed, evangelized, encouraged, and shared a lot with the four different churches we visited there. For me it was a huge learning experience. I learned so much from the Japanese. They work extremely hard and are the most devoted people I’ve ever met.

This a pic we took after 12 hours of flying to Japan an hour of walking around Tokyo, and an hour or two riding the bullet train to Kobe from Tokyo. We were tired but excited. Our entire trip should have been exhausting because we usually only slept 3 to 4 hours every night. In Japan we spend the days sharing, encouraging, and learning from the Japanese until late into the night. Then we get up before dawn to attend morning service at whichever church we are visiting. We get up early at our church in America, but the Japanese and Koreans are even crazier. They get up between 2 am and 3 am to prepare for morning service! By God’s grace and miracles we were able to keep going without being too tired. But by the time we went to Korea we were happy to sleep on the trains, buses, and plane.

mmmmmmmmm... Korean food

This was one of many dinners on our trip that I’ll never forget. Minister John’s old pastor and his wife treated us. 10 years ago when they and John were starting a church together they would eat together all the time. They were so happy because they didn’t know if they’d ever get to eat together like that again. But here they are together again after 10 years and now John is all grown up and starting a church of his own. They are really proud of John and us too.

We also stayed with them for a week. The pastor’s wife did all of our laundry and she told us she was praying for us as she did the work. We really felt that we had a mom taking care of us while staying in Korea.
