OFGF

This past Friday started the three day Okinawa Franklin Graham Festival. People had been preparing forever for this. Our own Tim Newell performed and did way awesome. He invited some bboys to dance, and one of his songs featured vocals from our own Michelle Bonner and our own Shannon Ray.





Then Frankerz came and did his thing. He's a really powerful speaker.






There was some sweet action entertainment. This Okinawan family played traditional music with Christian lyrics, it was amazing. And so was the sunset.










Keegan and Doug are like little brown brothers.


You can't really see, but the altar call was massive, and it was mostly Japanese.




Please please pray for those who responded, that their commitment would be real and that they'd find a good church to plug into. The festival went great, and we were all so blessed to see so many people from this country we love respond to the love of Christ!

Jermy's got a lot of good pics on his site, as does PT.

Hey Haley! Ah you missed Thanksgiving! : ( I cried, and then hid from your dad and his camera under a coffee table. *Sigh* he eventually got me.... You did miss the sweet potato casserole, but we will make you some for Christmas! Yay! We have so much left over, we were thinking of mailing you some, but who knows what would happen on its journey. We all love you! (And miss you!) You have to come home, and eat giant amounts of sweet potato casserole! BYE HALEY!
