sweet time with the professor yesterday morning….he is a man with wisdom, courage, intentionality, and supreme humility–everything that makes him so strategically placed in that setting. Terry and Lott were both able to be “in the dock” for the Lord as it relates to the need of a moral compass in economic considerations. Globalization was the [...]

this morning we’ll attend a international economics class (surely, our forte) led by a professor who’s a Christian at Chiba University.Ｔｅｒｒｙ’ｓ ｂｅｅｎ ｃａｌｌｅｄ ｕｐｏｎ ｔｏ ｏｆｆｅｒ ａ ｂｒｉｅｆ ｐｅｒｓｐｅｃｔｉｖｅ ｏｎ ｂｕｒｇｅｏｎｉｎｇ ａｎｄ ｃｏｌｌａｐｓｉｎｇ ｉｎｄｕｓｔｒｉｅｓ ｉｎ Ａｍｅｒｉｃａ ｗｉｔｈ ａ ｖｉｅｗ ｔｏ ｍａｋｉｎｇ ｍｅｎｔｉｏｎ ｏｆ ｈｏｗ ｔｈｅ Ｇｏｓｐｅｌ ｍｉｇｈｔ ｓｈａｐｅ ｂｕｓｉｎｅｓｓ ｐｒａｃｔｉｃｅｓ． Ｎｏｔ ｅｘａｃｔｌｙ ｌｉｇｈｔ ｃｏｎｖｅｒｓａｔｉｏｎ， ｉｓ ｉｔ？ Ｉｆ ｙｏｕ ｗｏｕｌｄｎ：ｔ ｍｉｎｄ ｐｒａｙｉｎｇ ｆｏｒ ｈｉｍ， ｉ ａｍ ｓｕｒｅ ｗｅ ｗｏｕｌｄ ａｌｌ ａｐｐｒｅｃｉａｔｅ ｉｔ． Ｔｅｒｒｙ ｈａｓ ｐｒｏｖｅｄ ｈｉｍｓｅｌｆ ｔｈｅ ｗｏｎｄｅｒｆｕｌ ｍｉｘ ｏｆ ｃｏｕｒａｇｅ，ｃｏｎｓｉｄｅｒａｔｉｏｎ， ａｎｄ ｃｏｍｉｃ ｒｅｌｉｅｆ ｈｅｒｅ ｉｎ Ｊａｐａｎ． Ｗｅ’ｒｅ ａｌｌ ｌｏｏｋｉｎｇ ｆｏｒｗａｒｄ ｔｏ ｈｅａｒｉｎｇ ｗｈａｔ ｈｅ ｈａｓ ｔｏ ｓａｙ ａｎｄ ｐｅｒｈａｐｓ ｔｏ ｅｎｇａｇｅ ｗｉｔｈ ｓｔｕｄｅｎｔｓ ｔｏｏ．

Good morning
Howdy Y`all! These keyboards are really funky, so sorry for the typos. Anyway, just wanted to let you all know that it:s really sunny here today, which is a nice change in weather. Today we have our second TX night. Please pray that today as we pass out fliers advertising the event on the college [...]
Sunday and Monday!

very tired but very glad to be here….off to brush our teeth for the first time in a day (aren’t you envious) and a [...]
hot off the press: our prayer requests
By the time you read this, we will be out-bound traffic. What would we have you pray for us? Glad you asked.
1) For our preparations as a team
2) For “divine appointments” with students who wish to have a closer look at this Jesus fellow
