GRIT 2008 is on the horizon!

Well, it has been two years since GRIT began in 2008. With furlough in 2007 we are now approaching the start of the second GRIT program. We are really excited about the possibilities and potential for the group this year. Pastor Lee Abuhl is coming again and will be joined this time by his wife, Violet and youngest daughter, Larissa. At the moment we have 14 probable participants. We have an international group this time with a FBBC student from Mexico and and ISU student from Indonesia among the participants.

We have some major changes from 2006 with the biggest being a change in our "home base". In 2006 we were based in Nagashima and stayed at the church most of the summer. This year we will be based at the ABWE camp in Okuchi, Camp Shalom. It provides us with a little more flexibility for meals and is in a more central location for our ministry to churches in South Kyushu.

This year everyone will begin arriving on May 15th for the official start on May 18th. We will have 8 weeks of intensive leadership training and ministry ending on July 13th. Thanks for your prayers during this busy time. We are praying that God will move in a great way in the lives of the participants and in the churches in which we minister.
