Mission Megumi Aftermath~

It was December 23rd, the day after mission officially ended. Dave and I said all our farewells to the team and left for Kyoto for the day.

After seeing some an amazing temple/ gardens, we got home pretty late and were planning to get to bed early because Dave had a 6:00 bus trip to catch to get to Osaka airport, and we had stayed up till 2 or 3 the last two nights playing carpet ball…

Dave wanted to go to a Japanese hotspring (Onsen) – but there weren’t and close by. There was a public bath house across the road from where we were staying so we went there.

The concept seems pretty strange from an Australian perspective, but is normal/ popular/ famous in Japan.
It is really relaxing being in the hot water, its somewhat like a sauna.

Dave and I were in making-friends mode from the mission, so we talked to another guy that was there and got along really well. His name is Tomoyuki Nishi.

We ended up going to karaoke for about 4 or 5 hours and then got dinner at a 24/7 restaurant ~
We talked about various things, about our plans for the future and about the mission we finished.

I heard once that short mission trips are just training for when you come home ~ so pray that we’ll all use what we learned and keep the momentum going in the mission fields back home ~~

Hello – It’s Ben again, correction: we can connect to the internet through my phone on campus in NGU.

Awesome things have been happening, but again this is just a quick update.

I have taken many videos on my phone, and uploaded them on YouTube, see our YouTube channel to watch them all!

Get Involved

Mission Megumi has been an intense 4 week experience for everyone involved. Our vision was to bring the Japanese one step closer to God, wherever they may be with God. We accomplished that with the students that we met, however Japan is still the 2nd most unreached nation amongst 1st world countries and the ratio of missionaries and people remain at 1:2000.

Japan still need us and you can partner up with Japan in two ways, by continually praying for them. You can also support them financially as well.

Please contact Jody Kubo: kubos6owari at gmail dot com if you would like to support Japan either financially or in prayer.
