Mission Team background - This has been a great learning experience in Okinawa, Japan and my love for God has grown and coming to know more about my Savior Jesus Christ with my church group here has been an eye opener. It’s this group, “Project 196” I want to tell you about (http://www.project196.com/). It’s a Christian ministry geared toward young adults in the U.S. military ages 20-30 years old (but some of us old folks attend too!). The name comes from Revelation 19:6, where the Apostle John saw a glimpse of heaven from God, "I heard what sounded like the shout of a huge crowd or the roar of mighty ocean waves, or the crash of loud thunder. I heard them say, 'Praise God! For the Lord almighty God reigns!'"
The team of worshipers is also a huge advocate for sponsoring mission trips to third-world countries to share the love of Christ. Most recently (June 7-17), we took on a trip to Thailand to an orphanage for kids through 18 years of age that have been orphaned due to their parents dying of HIV/AIDS. The orphanage is called The Im Jai House (http://www.imjaihouse.com/)
The mission was to initially go to the Im Jai House and love the kids, help with whatever was needed to keep-up the place. As the trip drew closer and throughout the trip, we saw a bigger plan through God as turmoil and pain came down on the Im Jai House, the kids and the staff.
Our ministry consisted of 8 people working with the kids by doing nightly Bible devotions, doing work and gardening projects at their orphanage, and I videotaped it all, as well as helped where God needed me. Look for a video documentary here soon. We also joined up with 8 people from the Colorado Community Church. http://www.coloradocommunity.org/
