God has made us what we are, and in our union with Christ Jesus he has created us for a life of good deeds, which he has already prepared for us to do. Ephesians 2:10A group of seventeen from Christian Layman Church (CLC) are going to Tokyo, Japan to be part of an English Camp hosted by Biblical Church of Tokyo. We are joining three other churches from the US. We will help the church host an English camp for up to 700 kindergarten and elementary kids. Todd and Jayne Fong, CLC missionaries to Japan, have been a part of this church and worked with the English camp for several years. Last year was CLC's first team, and we have over double the number of team members this year! Which is good because the Tokyo church is doing two locations and double the number of kids!We are excited for the opportunity to serve with Todd and Jayne and support their ministry. Less than 1% of Japan are evangelical Christians even though it is an open country. Most of the kids attending the camp are not Christians.

Going to Japan to serve the kids is a privilege, and we do not take the responsibility lightly.

Please pray for:

• Deepening of our faith
• Unity of the CLC team and all the churches
• Safe travels
• That we would be a loving witness to the people we meet
• Cross language barriers
• Health and protection of the entire team especially with the hot summer weather
• Compassionate and teachable hearts
• Cultural adjustment in Japan and upon return
• For good connections with the kids and Tokyo church volunteers so we can encourage them
