Goodbye Class, Hello Japan!

Dear Everyone,
Sorry it has been a while since my last post, but life as a college student can be ridiculously busy especially when you do a maymester course. Good news is I'm done with class and only 27 days away from leaving for Japan!! Although Japan is so close and I can begin to officially to prepare, there is so much to do before I leave. I will be singing in a wedding, teaching vacation bible school, and taking the GACE. There is no rest for the weary they say.
I am happy to report that the Lord continues to provide financially for my trip and I am still receiving funds to go. I just want to thank all of you following who have personally contributed prayerfully or financially. Know that you are helping advance the love and message of Jesus Christ in a place where it is desperately needed! As of this morning I officially received my schedule for the 3 weeks I will be there. Throughout my blogging you may see the name Leena who is my missionary connection in Japan and who has graciously prepared my 3 week schedule. I will be involved in the following activities during my stay in Kyoto; taking a few Japanese classes, working with local college students, participating in on-campus devotionals, sharing my testimony and singing all over, help with teaching English classes which are a part of a church ministry, giving a presentation on the state of Georgia, participating in relational ministries all over Kyoto, and helping out with a church camp. I am not quite sure what I may do as far as sightseeing/adventuring but will just go with the flow. I am just happy to serve the Lord and meet needs. Continue to pray for my trip and that the Lord will guide and reveal His will for me in Japan as I prepare to go. Thank you for all your support and prayers. I'll be in touch soon.

By Grace,
CP
