This is George May giving an update. Today was our final day with the kids. It is hard for us to see the week end. We have established such good relationships with the kids. One of the most encouraging things for me is the individual conversations I've had with some of the students that make it clear they are really wrestling with the things we've talked about this week in very personal ways.
For the last session of the conference, we gave a presentation to the parents. The preschool and elementary did some singing and Charissa and Lauren talked about the key topics of the week. For student ministries, several of the students taught a summary of the things we've worked with or shared how they were challenged this week. They did a great job. 
This afternoon, we helped clean up the conference center, swam a little bit and had a team meeting this evening. The entire team has been doing a great job and has been giving very positive feedback on their experience here. God is clearly at work IN us and not just THROUGH us. We are certainly very grateful for both. 
Tomorrow we will go with Jim and Emily May as well as a few short-termers, to downtown Tokyo as tourists. Then Saturday, the team will arrive back in Lancaster, minus Charissa and I who are staying on to see Jim and Angela and the kids.
