Friday

Day 3 was a busy work day. Each member of the team worked in some area at Okinawa Christian school. Since summer school is in session, several worked in classrooms with the regular teachers. Some worked in our library and helped to straighten and put books on the shelves. Some did hot work in our kitchen putting down a new floor as well as helped with taking lockers out of the locker room and moving them down one story.

After a bit of afternoon rest to help with the jet lag, our team went to Mihama and helped Pastor Vee Tetsuo with his ministry in a very busy shopping area in Okinawa. He had prepared tracts with the arrival photo of our team as an introduction and information about the evening church service and sent them all over the area to hand out. The team handed them all out-no one attended the Friday evening service so the WV group had a wonderful praise and singing time in the small rented room above Starbucks.

The service was over about 8:00 and since no one had eaten dinner, we went in search of a place to eat....we looked and looked but it was hard to find a place to serve 15 at one time. We finally found an A and W Rootbeer restaurant that was very happy to have us and we were finally able to sit down and relax a bit and celebrate Jim Crouch's 78th birthday. All the people in the restaurant joined in to sing happy birthday.
Saturday is Baptist Day at a local church and then we will be doing more street evangelism, attending church and then resting a bit before Sunday.
Keep everyone in your prayers for their health.
