Day 5: Wednesday

'Twas an early morning today... a quick breakfast and we launched out the door to go to Tokyo Bible School where we enjoyed worship with them (in Japanese!) and then led a service. I taught on how God speaks to us (prophesy) and then we had a fire tunnel and a prophesied over the new students. That was probably my favorite time so far, getting to enjoy the children's heart for God, share in their fun, and love on them and be loved back. They are some of the most beautiful people.

We spent the afternoon grabbing a lovely Japanese lunch and then enjoyed people-watching at Starbucks from our second-story vantage. The intersection in front of the train station is crazy! The cars will be going crazy, stopping only for their red-lights when suddenly every one has had a turn, all the lights go red, and the pedestrians cross in a human tsunami! People flood the street and all you can see is business suits and plenty of snazzy Tokyo fashion.

In the late afternoon, Donn, Joanna, and I met up with some ladies at Waseda University to pass out flyers for their weekly Bible study and then shared some stories from school, a few testimonies, and heard about what called them to their respective ministries. We snagged a bit to eat at a little eatery where I tried mincemeat and ginger in (obviously) rice. The women we met were such warriors and I was truly humbled to be able to join them. It was really cool to feel like I was taking an intercessory stand for the education mountain of influence that I am called to.

Now, I'm showered and happy (I just talked to my family!!) so I think I'm gonna grab some much needed sleep. Pray for refreshment and energy... we still have five solid days! Over halfway through and still enjoying this captivating country.
