Hey guys!
Check out this amazing dance crew from Japan known as Kaori Alive. Their performance is based off of the emotion and hardship of the Tohoku earthquake and tsunami, and leaves off with a hopeful note. Just saw this live last night and it is one of the most chilling sets I have seen to which they won 3rd place at Vibe 17, a dance competition held annual in Irvine.

Slideshow
Am so thankful that Andrew and Jon are so tech savvy and made the effort and took the time to post their pictures, videos and thoughts!
Thanks to Gordon Hwang for this slideshow documenting our time in Tohoku:

Please join me in continuing to pray for the people of Japan:
* That their hearts would be open to receiving the good news!
* That the workers there would not be weary, but be encouraged. In a country where less than 1% of the population is Christian, it is hard not to be discouraged. That they would find other believers to fellowship with.
* That the workers would be bold in their faith, they would not miss opportunities to share about their relationship with Jesus. That their lives would shine with the difference that Jesus makes in their lives.

In Summary
Hey everyone,
It has been two days since our team returned home from Japan and it is at this time that I would like to present a quick summary of our mission trip while the majority of it is still fresh in my mind.
The first two days in Yokohama were utilized to introduce our team to the culture and give us some practice interacting with people. Thanks to the Hwang family and Auntie Judy for both orchestrating this trip and for helping us at each step of the way in providing shelter, food, and translation.
The majority of the first week though was spent in Tohoku, the region of Japan that was greatly affected by the 3/11 earthquake and ensuing tsunami. Even though it snowed on the way up, Scot, our volunteer driver, safely brought us up north. By God’s grace, we were able to stay at the Nishikiori Baptist Church, a small church that was just inland enough to escape the devastation. The church is led by Pastor Fujioka and his wife, Sachiko. Together, they are providing God’s love to all those who are around them. The first day that we arrived, we helped host a party for the preschool children of the town in which both Fujioka-sensei and Sachiko volunteered. The party was wonderful since most of the kids and teachers went up to the front and were able to talk about their enjoyments and hopes for the new year after 3/11.
