G.R.I.T.

Homeward Bound

Well, well, well. It`s been an emotional day as the team parted ways with Japan, and with good friends from the summer. Keiko will especially miss a team who has been very helpful and cares greatly for her, and their encouragement and fellowship, and I know the team will certainly miss her as well. I am privileged to spend almost an extra month here, and we have been enjoying a busy day of packing, moving, cleaning, and final projects. I am excited to hear about everyone taking the fire they have for Christ back to their homes and churches, and making a difference in people`s lives. It`s certainly been a good summer, well worth the sacrifice of being here, and I hope nobody goes home anything less than changed forever. We have learned much about discipline, teamwork, leadership, communication, commitment, responsibility, and intentional relationships to impact generation after generation. God has been faithful to teach us great things, and we are excited to teach others as well. Please pray for the team as they return home to the next plans that God has for them. They are somewhere between Kyushu and Chicago right now, with a long trip ahead of them, and longer lives for serving God ahead of them. Thank you all for your prayers this summer, and please continue to pray for me as I stay here until August 9th to help out with some camps, general outreach, and learn much about the mission field, meeting several other Japanese people and learning from Norman his passion and vision for Japan. I`m excited to be here someday soon, serving God with all His strength, for His glory. Miss you all, and hope God is doing great things in your lives as well. Please e-mail me, and I will try to keep up with contact now ~ scals06@hotmail.com God bless!
