Briefing



This is a photo montage of the photos taken during briefing. We arrived at got to know each other on Tuesday at Vanguard University of Southern California. Once we all arrived, the 15 of us got lunch and shared stories and experiences. We had several meeting a day during this time. We had an overall meeting, where the East Asia Team, the Tokyo team, and the other project, which location escapes me right now, all got together in worship. We also had team meetings where the individual project teams would get together and learn about the location we would be staying in as well as learning more about each other. During this time, we discovered that the overall project was $19,000 short of funds. So, we spent most of our free time calling up anyone we knew for donations. As a side note, if you donated to any of the people on this project. Thank you so much, it is because of you that every single one of us that came go briefing is now here in Tokyo. I am sure I speak for the team when I say that words cannot describe our thanks.

However, the stress of gathering funds did not distract us from a fun game of volleyball with out team.

During briefing, we all saw God moving in amazing ways in all the money we needed being gathered and other crises being averted, such as lost passports being found on time.

After several fun days of bonding, learning, and fun. We set off to the airport, and to Tokyo
