Hello TOKYO!

Well, this may be a shorter blog as we just arrived in Tokyo and I feel like I have missed a day. I plan on staying up so I can get accustomed to the time here and go to sleep at the normal time here in Japan.
But, here we are in Tokyo, considered an "unreached people group" as less than 1% are professing Christians. Yet, there is a wave of University students that want to change that.

We are getting ready to go visit the venue and get some ideas on what we need to prepare for and what we might encounter on Saturday night!

Ok, I have slept the night, worked out at the gym and had a good fruit breakfast and feel refreshed. My study this morning was back in Romans 8:28-39. Just reviewing the passage Louie and Frances Chan both talked with the students about in London.
Some points I have taken away from that passage:

We, as believers, are "predestined"...to be conformed to the image of His Son..."
This point takes more study and meditation as we contemplate how do we get there? Many times and the biggest change is through "suffering and pain". "If they rejected me, they will reject you also" (more study and meditation).

"If God is for us, who is against us" (No one)
"Who can condemn or bring a charge against us?" (No one)
"Christ is interceding for us...at the right hand of God" (right now)
"Who or what can separate us from the love of Christ?" (No one)
"We are more than conquerors"

There is one more awesome point I want to make, but perhaps another time. I have some things to do to prepare for the students Saturday night here in Tokyo. Sunday we travel to Manila for a Tuesday night event. I return home to Austin Wednesday and a week later will be in Hong Kong! We are 14 hours ahead of Austin, TX time so remember to pray for these events.
