Japanese Christian events in the summer vacation

So I've been surprised to find out that once summer vacation begins, Japanese Christians become this active. Here's a snapshot of Christian happenings in the next half-month or so. Please pray that God would change lives this summer.

August 20-23: Challenge Camp.
60 students gather to be challenged to serve and to personally evangelise.

August 24: Evangelistic Bible study with Japanese contacts from Sydney.
Pray for soft hearts towards Jesus and good conversations at local fireworks afterwards.

August 27-30: Summer School.
90 students gather to hear how God "likes" them (Facebook reference).
Praying for Yoichi from Chuo University to be saved, and for 10+ others who don’t yet know Jesus.

September 3: Excursion to trick art museum with the Tama area Christians.
Pray for good relationships that will flow into our monthly prayer gatherings for campuses in the Tama area.

September 9-11: Chuo University camp.
In addition to the Christians who will be in attendance, continue to pray for Yoichi.

September 13-14: Block leaders camp.
Pray that the leaders will refreshed to serve in Semester 2, which will begin in the following month.

The above prayer requests are actually from Naomi Smith, an Australian whom I first met at a Japanese church in Sydney and is currently a staff worker with Japanese university Christian group KGK. The most notable point is, we both came from Sydney to Japan around the same time, we are both here for God's mission, and we are both in the same area! I am honoured to support her in prayer as she gets busy on field in this time. She will be giving numerous talks, seminars and training sessions. I hope you'll join me in supporting her too :)


I won't be directly involved in any events like these this summer vacation. One because I kind of overbooked this vacation before I knew it, and two because I'm not formally a university student yet. But looking forward to getting involved next year! Pray I will be an encouragement within the Christian community.
