Welcoming BBQ and following up...

Hey Leadership,

Great job last night! There was an overwhelming sense that I got from some old and new people that they really enjoyed the evening; from killing new people during "Mafia" to the crazy eight legged "Takohachi." It was a wonderful time where relationships were strengthened and new ones were formed. I am quite confident that the three new people, Riohe, Hidemi, and Eric loved their time as well and will be coming back in the future.

For starters, I think we should do our best to pray for them as the first part of "following up." If we are leading ICF, we should be faithful in our prayer life for the students who attend. Also, I am having a few students over to my house this week and will be having dessert and a movie. Pray for that as well as I have asked some students who haven't been to ICF in a long time.

Jessica, please do me a favor and email me the three new student's email addresses. I know all of us should not email them or it might be overwhelming, but I know that a few of us will. Tim, if you were able to connect with any of the new students, I know you will email them and welcome them. I will do the same and I ask that at least one more person email them as well, possibly a girl.

Other than that, thanks for all the hard work you guys did to make this evening a reality! Even if you feel like you didn't do that much, your presence made it that much better. And Yama, we love you and hope you are feeling better! Great job to the worship team and you guys sounded great!

-Dan

Okay...

So maybe the poll is a little harsh, but we need to start looking at this page a little bit...everyone one of you can post on this thing...let's take advantage of this okay?

Also, I want to visit the college campuses this week, anyone want to join me? can I visit any of you?

-Dan

thank you!

Friday, August 17th, 2007

First off, Daniel and Emiko, we missed you on Friday night. I hope everything went well...

Second, sorry Yama for not going to the Surfing Lessons this morning. Remember when I told you on our meeting Wednesday that the doctors doubled my medications? Friday night I was still feeling the effects of them and felt it was best that I not push it. I sure hope to support you when I can, but for now, my health takes priority. Please forgive that.

Finally, for the rest of you, I will not be there this Friday as I will be flying out of town with Kelly and Noah early Thursday morning for a wedding. I wish I could be but we had this planned for a long time. That means I will not be leading the believer's Bible study. Any suggestions for what we should do?

Please respond!

Miss you guys...

I just wanted to thank you all for your prayers and support during this difficult time this past weekend. You are all such a wonderful family to Kelly, Noah and I.

I also wanted to say that I will not be at ICF these next two weeks because I will be on vacation up in Mammoth (where Miriam and Wichit were). I will take many pictures and miss you guys more than you know...so hold down the fort for me okay? I truly love you guys and can't wait to see you again...

Yama, I will email you that stuff on Accountability if you would like to discuss it at the leadership meeting. Does anyone else want the material? Chris, Daniel, Steve? Just email me...

July 18

Hi, how are you?
I just want to say "Thank you" to everyone.
with all your help, I can sing as a leader during worship time.
to be honest,
to stand in front of people and to lead make me so nervous.
and sometime I do not feel well because of maybe...stress or just tired.
and maybe I am sometimes moody.
but before worship, I saw that some members were practicing like playing a guiter or
a drum. that makes me back to in front of God... I mean I start to focus on God.
to become a leader is not easy.
once school starts, I would get a lot of stress,
maybe my mind or heart would be fragile.
now I just realize that I cannot become a leader with your help.
so Thank you so much.
I have read Isaiah 41:10 last night,
and it encourages me a lot...

so do not fear, for I am with you;
do not be dismayed, for I am your God.
I will strengthen you and help you;
I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.

Love in Jesus Christ,

July Duties...
