Sayonara Tokyo!

Well, good-bye to another Passion City. It is rapidly becoming a "bittersweet" for me as each City goes by...rather quickly I may add. It is exciting as I will be home now in about 8-9 days and then again it is sad as I see it is almost over. There is no way of knowing how Passion has been used and the impact on students around the world. I only know what little I see in the students faces as I watch them intently and hear them talk (in English) about how their lives will change. I pray that God will "continue the work He has begun in their lives" (Phil. 1:6).

Well, back to TOKYO. The City is beautiful, very clean and the people are amazingly friendly. They love to worship. The venue was packed out and we were even told we could not let anymore in by the venue personnel a couple times. For those who know the place, we were at C.C.Lemon arena. It looked like a new venue, but it may be that they keep it in such great shape. As I was walking in the place several times, it was like the maintenance guy was following me around with a vacuum cleaner. There were at least 2 rooms where we had to take our shoes & socks off, so that was cool.
The place could hold 2000 and we had that almost exactly plus about 100 volunteers, so the venue again was not to excited about that, but we kept secretly squeezing them in. They gave quite a bit. I think it was 1,750,000 Yen.
All to be used for Passion Hong Kong.
Well, I am getting ready to pack and am heading out to Hong Kong, a day ahead of the rest of the crew, bands and Todd. He gets to stay another day in Tokyo as I go on ahead. Passion Hong Kong is Thursday night, I think, and then Sydney will be next Tuesday night. So, as it draws to a close I will keep you posted. Let me get a couple pictures up for now, only a few pictures of the venue as my batteries ran out just as I got there.
Talk to you all soon, continue to pray for Jesus to become Famous all around the world and know that Jesus is worshipped around the world by people of all nationalities, races, and background.
