Wonderful Things to Tell Of

Discover Friends Parties

Japan Campus Crusade for Christ, or Student Impact, as they call themselves, allowed us to help them put on two parties on Friday the 8th and Friday the 15th as cross-campus outreach events for Japanese students. They were crazy! Tons of Japanese kids, our team from LA, a team from NY, a team from Singapore, the Japanese Staff and the team of just-graduated kids who have been on mission here for a year (Stint-ers) were all cozy together in a good sized conference room, learning about other cultures and each other. Both weeks I had the amazing opportunity to share my faith and the gospel with different groups of kids, and it was such a cool experience.

This sort of thing is so my heart – Christians from all over the world working together on the same ministry, loving on our Lord, serving His people, speaking of the love and unity that comes from His Spirit and being able to demonstrate that in a very real way as we come along side each other. They were both awesome nights. The first night I shared alongside an American man who is on staff and a Korean guy from NY, both whom I had just met that night. (But they were my brothers…!) It was cool to talk to the students with them. The second night I got to share with Heather Brainerd, which was beyond amazing. We had not gotten to share together before because we go to different campuses, so it was a blessing and a very cool time for us as sisters and as friends. All in all, sweet parties, and it has been fun keeping in touch with the girls we met both weeks!
