Well...

Turns out the church were staying at has internet, and 4 computers for us to use.!!

So last night was pretty tight!!

We ended up going to Shubuya (spelling?) Crossing, which is the largest crosswalk area in the world pretty much.

We broke out in some caroling and worship/gospel music! Drew some small crowds and stuff and prayed over a good amount of people, etc made some friends :) very awesome.

On our way home we experienced our first train squish. and by that I mean getting on a subway so packed you have 5 Japanese men literally crammed against you on all sides. It was kinda funny, but my back hurt afterwards.

After that LONG day, we woke up this morning at 5 to board the Shinkansen (Bullet Train) for Osaka... it was pretty darn fast I'll just say! I got to see Mt. Fuji on my way over here!

Okay, now to sum up Osaka: Uhhh... awesome. Its like this HUGE... HUGE,.... HUUUUUUUGE HUGE HUGE never ending city, but it feels different then Tokyo, like a lot ... better. :)

And the people were staying with? Awesome...!
We straight up did a Harp & Bowl workshop on the spot for a few hours, taught them how we do it IHOP Style! It was awesome, got a intercession set going and at least two rapid fire lines going ;)

Then we did a 3 hour prayer meeting where our team played worship and prayed and invited the Holy Spirit to do good things. etc etc :)



Anyways I'm mega tired again/. haha. SLEEEEP.

Mega big props shout outs to B.Nosler, for bein the only one to let me know what she thinks bout my bloggin. haha

Love ya'll. Muchi muchi.

Hello.

First off, going to be a short update.
Must get up in 4 hours to catch some trains then board a 2.5 hour train ride on the Bullet Train to Osaka.

The church were staying at wont have internet so there probably wont be any updates realistically for the next week.

Long stories short:

Last night we had an amazing 3 hours prayer session where the Holy Spirit broke out.
Lots of crying and weeping, more Lord

Today we moved a LOT of furniture.
Went to umm Shubuyu (spelling?) Crossroads, which is probably the busiest crosswalk in the WORLD. It was amazing.

Did some caroling/gospel there and did outreach as well as praying for people. Very good things.

Anyways I forced myself awake to write this, I'm going to sleep now.

Pray for finances.
I've got about 5 dollars to my name in my pocket and not much more in my bank.

Love and blessings, pray for strength, fruitfulness, increasing of faith and heart.

Today!

So 4 of us went to the eye doctor and cell phone store today, and the rest of the 9 walked to the shopping mall nearby. I went to the mall :)

We did prayer walking and singing the whole way, and just sat and worshipped God in the courtyard for a good 25 minutes! Then we went in and prayer walked the store, played worship songs on a piano and attempted to treasure hunt. I was a little shy though.. the Language barrier is intimidating.

Now in a few minutes we are going to TCU (Tokyo Christian University) to minister and talk to some students. It is a very conservative school. Pray for favor and an open door for love.

Also pray for strength.

On a side note, the people here are so nice... :-]

but so many need hope and love, you can see it on their faces, especially the railways.

Jesus reigns!

Amen

Tuesday (Worship, T-Tower)

Yesterday was quite amazing, especially for a "day off"

We started it off by getting all ready, doing a hour and a half of corporate worship and then praying and ministering prophetically. Our Korean team mates really got called forth in their destiny, as we spoke the truth over them and broke some chains off them.

God also showed me a few things He wants to do with me in the future, including setting the captives free and how me and my wife are going to be symbols of hope (in Christ Jesus) for the hopeless.

Praise the Lamb! :)

After that we left for down town Tokyo.

We ate at a grocery bstore on the way there, and were entirely too loud (silly Americans :] ).

Then we continued walking to the railway, but our team leader Toni-Lynn forgot her inhalers and was having real trouble, so me and Paul Kim ran all the way back home and got them and had Jennifer drive me and him back to the group, where we then boarded the rail system.

Also it should be said that a lot of time is spent on the railways. We switch trains 2 or three times just getting from our house to where were going next, and many times the cars are super packed!!

Anyways, next we got off at the main Tokyo station and proceeded to go to the World Trade Center in Tokyo so we could see the Tokyo-Tower. Somehow we asked a few times on the 39th floor and a CEO of a company (which were pretty sure has very close ties to Exxon Mobile??) let us ALL into their private top floor party to have a grand view. Such favor.

Pray for that CEO, that he would be a Cyrus for the Kingdom of God in Japan.

Also pray for the door assistant Magumi, a very proficient English speaking girl. She spent a year in California, and sounded just like my Korean room mate back in Missouri, haha! Let God encounter her in a mighty way!

Anyways, then off to the tower! We boarded taxi's and got off.

We bought tickets and intended to go to the very top but when when we got to the main observatory which was halfway up, we found out the top closed at 9:30 (phooey!). .. but wow was the view AMAZING!. I even spotted a bridge over the Tokyo Bay that is lit up like a rainbow and every 15 feet there was a touch-screen with a time-lapse night to day view of your current position. There was also a 3x5' glass floor panel that you could walk over and that was pretty scary from up so very high, heh.

Long story short we went home after all that, debriefed and I fell hard asleep.

There is more to the story, such as the spiritual warfare that we encountered, but I will save that for my next post.

Blessings and honor and love to you,

Much Needed Update

(Don't forget that I am 17 hours ahead of California time)

So Monday we met some members of the Altar-HOP (House of Prayer) in Tokyo.

Long story short we went on whats called a treasure hunt, where you pray to God to show you things and people and places prophetically so you can minister to people.

Well God led my leader to a man in an video game shop, who ended up asking Jesus to come into his life and show Himself to him. So awesome!! Jesus touch that man. I'll

Outside and just to the left of that Video Game shop was a fortune telling place, where people were lined up inside to meet the reader. A few feet outside were two girls who were waiting for almost two hours, and God showed me two very simple things for them, that one was called to be a dancer for Jesus, and that the other had a heart for justice.

Long story short the entire group ended up prophetically ministering to them and praying that Jesus would reveal Himself to them, because asking to receive Jesus into your life is a very big descision in Japan (as it should be anywhere). It was awesome though two other team mates got words from the LORD that lined up exactly with what He showed me in my heart about them. It feels very good knowing that you hear from the LORD, even if its in small impressions.

I believe the two girls names were Kyoko and Nana(?).

Please pray that my ears would be increasingly opened to what the Father is saying in every moment, and the boldness to act upon those things so that I may grow.

Pray also for UNITY among the team, though we have had much, there have been moments of misunderstanding. Pray that we would continue to grow, especially me. I seem to have the most growing to do, though I bow before Jesus and say 'Yes!'
