Why am I getting this e-mail?
You are getting this prayer update because:

For the next 7 days, we plan to send you updates from the road so that you can pray with us for God to work and praise him for what he does! We hope to keep you informed so you can pray knowledgably for us, particularly the individual with whom you are a prayer partner.

Ai Tomabechi helped students practice sharing their faith without using "Christian vocabulary"
|
|
Students arrived at Hi-BA Camp in Chiba on Friday morning to begin an intense 25 hours of training. On a practical level, we learned new songs, practiced old songs, created skits, learned to lead games, and learned tips to handing out fliers in front of train stations and schools. Hi-BA staff Arthur Kraai challenged us to have humility, take the spiritual battle seriously, and keep the message of the gospel of Jesus Christ at the center.

Small group time during the Kickoff Rally
|
|
|
To allow GT members to mingle, interact with, and encourage regular Japanese Hi-BA students - this was the purpose of the Saturday afternoon Kickoff Rally. Rousing music interspersed with small group prayer, and a message from Hi-BA Staff Chieko Suzuki, made for a stellar launch to GT 2013. With the GT members not doing morning tracting in most Kanto areas this summer, regular Hi-BA students are being challenged to make an exceptional effort to get their friends to come out. Pray that they would be up for the task.
