Update and Prayer Requests


We are now over out quarntine and can eat in the dinning room again. These pics are from the staff room where we spend any fee time we have. It's been a couple weeks of preparing, training, and getting over sickness. We're now into the real deal with 30 American youth here from the US army Base in Tokyo. Its been crazy I taught my first snowboard class and that was so tiring, but also fun and rewarding. Please keep us in prayer as we have another week straight of guests and lessons, before our day off.
I am so impressed by the camp and its approach to ministry. We had three families here from both Japan and the US base. We spent alot of time with them played with their kids. Then the last day we offered free wall climbing. After the climb one of the staff went up blindfolded and had the kids help him reach the top. This led to a talk led by another staff memeber about the importance of authorty and our parents. These are people who probably would have very little contact with a Christian community such as ours.
Also please keep my English classes in prayer. In the near future I will be offering free classes here at northstar. There are many people here my age working at the ski resort and local lodges. Our goal is to build relationships with them, help them with their English, and in the end share our faith and passion for life with them.
