Orientation, Day 1, July 2

Hello All,

     If you have not read the previous entry in this blog, please do as it explains how best to access the blog.

     Well we have finally started the trip.  This will be a short blog as it was just the evening.  We had the out-of-town people arriving all afternoon and the locals arrived by 5:30 for dinner.  Thanks to Vickie Gizzi and Debbie Jones for preparing the dinner.  After dinner, we took the time to go around the room and give a quick 1-minute introduction of ourselves.  After dinner Paul discussed the schedule for the next 2 days.  Then we passed out the "equipment", our team shirts and track suits and practice uniforms.  Paul also spent some time sharing some stories from prior trips to encourage us as to how God can work, even when we do not see it right away.  2 stories of men who became believers in the late 90's, but we didn't find out about it until 15 years later.  Ministry takes a long time in Japan and these stories were encouraging to know that what we will be doing will have an effect, even if we do not see it right away.  A good way to start this tour.

     Not too many pictures, but here is the link to the days pictures and the short video montage:
