G.R.I.T.

Luke here.

I`m really enjoying my time here in Japan. It`s hard to believe, even after a long summer, that in two weeks we`ll already be flying home. I`m starting to realize how much I miss everyone, and I`m getting excited about starting school at Faith in less than a month. In our last couple weeks here, we are really trying to bring together the teamwork and leadership skills we`ve learned this summer and really apply it in the close group that we`ve become. We`ve experienced the most unity this last week especially. Looking back, it`s evident how much everyone has grown. It`s exciting to see the difference this summer has made on our lives. I`m gonna miss everyone from our team. Dan is the first to leave, and he`s got less than a week already. We are especially committing to prayer our return to America as we wrap up this program. Our team is on fire; it would be sad to see people return and be stopped dead in the momentum that we`ve gained here. We want to return and make a difference in America, at our colleges, in our churches... anywhere we go is a place to influence others. The God who created the world by the sound of His voice can most certainly change people`s hearts and empower us to help others. Pray that the joy we`ve found in living the Lord`s will will carry on in our hearts and keep us alive in spirit to strive in our ministry. Missin` you all, and look forward to homecoming.
