Oki Team Heads Home

June 12th saw the Oki team leave our shores to head back home. They left from LAX. It was truly a blessing to have them around. They especially helped out greatly with Jonathan and Evangelina's wedding.

Please continue to pray for them, as the Lord does a work in their lives. We hope that we will see them soon.. either that they come back and visit us in the near future, or we go over there!!

We hope they where as blessed coming to Calie and hanging out with us, as we where with them.

Oki Team Visits San Diego

The Oki team made their way down to San Diego, with a stop off at Camp Pendleton, to see Capetian Mark Davis (of the Marine Corp) get promoted to Major Mark Davis. It was special for the Oki Team, because for the past year Major Davis was stationed in Oki and attended CC Ginowan. So Major Davis as well as the team was totally blessed to be apart of something very special.

Afterwards, the team headed down to San Diego and visited Famed Balboa Park. For those of you who do not know Balboa park, it is a beautiful City Park with Museums and gardens all over. It is definitely a place to visit if you are ever in San Diego.

Afterwards they headed to Old Town San Diego to get a taste of what life was like when San Diego first started.

The day was filled with blessings and adventure.

Corona High School Christian Club Ministry

May 31st we where invited to minister at Corona High School's Christian Clubs. It was such a blessing... as E3G has always been praying to be able to minister on the campus' of the Corona Norco School district Schools... and this year the Lord has opened many doors.

Jon and Daniel along with one of the guys that came with the Oki team... Kegan, led in worship.. and a Graduate from Corona High School Class of 82' shared what God is doing in Oki ... of course we are talking about Pastor Tom Ruiz.

The students of Corona, had a blessed time as they where able to meet the Oki team as well as taste some of the "exotic" candies and snacks!! The teachers who are the sponsors of the clubs where also totally blessed, to see young men and women who love the Lord.

Oki Team Ministers at CC Whittier

May 30th the team headed down to CC Whittier... acutally Biola Univeristy where CC Whittier is holding their Wednesdy Night Services for a couple of Wednesdays. Pastor Tom was able to share God's word.. and the Oki team was able to see a beautifull Christian College Campus.. as well as fellowship with a the great body found at CC Whittier.

Continue to lift them up in your prayers!!

Take Me Out to the Ball Game

A bunch of us... about 26 of us to be exact headed to the Big A to watch the "OTHER LA Team" the Angeles... Dodgers were obviously out of town!!! It was a good game.. the Angeles won.. and the Japanese got their fill of ICHIRO.. a very famous Japanese... as well as American Ball player.

The Okinawan team even made signs inorder for ICHIRO to see them. Everyone had a great time and where glad that they went.. even though it wasn't as good as a Dodger game would be... but I guess... the Angeles will do just fine.

Oki Team Ministers at CC Los Alamitos

May 27th, the team headed to CC Los Alimitos to minister and to be minstered to the body. It was a great time of worship and fellowship. The church body at CC Los Alamitos was truly blessed in getting to know the team, and hear all the great and wonderfull things our God is doing on the small island of Okinawa.

After service the team hung out with the church as they had a Picnic for the church body. They served some great food.

After Tom took the team to the world famous Huntington Beach. They visited the pier and checked out all the surf shops!!!

Continue to pray for them.

Also please keep Yuko up in your prayers (seen in the picture below) as she had to leave on this day and head back to Oki due to work stuff. She doesn't know the Lord, but He is knocking on her heart.

Oki Team heads to the Disneyland

Some of the Oki Team went to Disneyland along with Jon and Patrick. It was their first time experiencing the Happiest Place on Earth. And they where truly happy... especially when they had the chance to meet Mickey.

Please continue to pray for them as they are here.. that they would not just experience happiness, but truly .. that they would experience joy.. and that only found in Christ.

The Okinawa Team led by Tom Ruiz, has arrived.. and are having tons of fun. The first couple days they shopped, and shopped and did more shopping.. as well as they went to the First showing of PIRATES of the CARIBBEAN 3!!!

They have been such a blessing .. and please pray for them as some know the Lord and are being encouraged in their walk.. and as other who came do not know Him, but our prayer is that they would see who our God is and how great His love for them is.
