Who do people say we are, who do you think we are & do you know who you are?

QUOTES TO STIR THE POT

"I love two Js and no third; one is Jesus, and the other is Japan. I do not know which I love more, Jesus or Japan. I am hated by my countrymen for Jesus' sake as foreign belief, and I am disliked by foreign missionaries for Japan's sake as national and narrow. Even if I lose all my friends, I cannot lose Jesus and Japan . . . Jesus and Japan; my faith is not a circle with one center; it is an ellipse with two centers. My heart and mind revolve around the two dear names. And I know that one strengthens the other; Jesus strengthens and purifies my love for Japan; and Japan clarifies and objectives my love for Jesus. Were it not for the two, I would become a mere dreamer, a fanatic, an amorphous universal man."

Uchimura Kanzo, 1861-1930

2011 Japan Women

2011 WOMENS OUTREACH TO JAPAN
Where: Iwata, Iwakuni and Osaka, Japan
When: June 28 – July 16, 2011
Who: College Age Women and High School Seniors
Cost: $3,150

THIS TOUR will stretch each participant on & off the field.  We will be learning what it means to be a sports minister, as well as putting what we learn into practice through many different avenues of ministry such as matches, camps, post-game meals, testimony sharing, friendship evangelism, clinics, and pre-tour training. Our hope is that each girl on this tour comes home with a deeper knowledge of our Lord, Sports Ministry and a confidence in sharing her faith with others.

COME JOIN US for this exciting 2011 outreach to Central & Southern Japan.  This is our 8th year to minister in Osaka and our 5th in Iwakuni.  This year in particular serves a unique purpose in helping to plant a long-term sports ministry center by partnering with Masa & Chie Yokota and Pastor BJ Tsutada in Osaka.  In addition to matches, we will be helping to establish a soccer camp which will attract families to the Soccer Academy they hope to start.  They have arranged matches for us with local select clubs and universities as well as High School teams.  Besides matches and the 3-day camp, we will be engaging with the locals through soccer clinics and other relational opportunities.

Osaka is the second largest city in Japan but we will also be traveling to Southern Japan which is one of the most beautiful parts of the country.  There we will be partnering through the Chapel on a US Navy Military installation to provide a 4-day camp to the children of the F-18 fighter squadron  and their support team families.  We will also minister off-base with a Japanese pastor while making connections to the community that would otherwise be difficult to make.  It’s not all work and ministry however, there will be a day to rest, relax & see some of the scenic & cultural locations of historical Japan.

Get ready to make an impact and be challenged by the opportunity to represent your Savior, your country, your sport, and the Seahorse Soccer ministry through this awesome opportunity. We will take two days prior to departing to cover cultural orientation, physical preparation, and get ready spiritually.
