This is the first entry into the blog on the short term mission trip to Ube, Japan sponsored by FBA.

"See to it that you complete the work you have received in the Lord." Colossians 4:17 NIV

What
The trip to Ube is a construction mission to assist Ube Lighthouse Christ Church.

The Church has recently acquired a commercial property in need of renovation to meet their needs. Tasks will include demolition and construction of non-load-bearing walls, addition of a door to the outside, a new covered walkway to the only restroom (which they currently have to go out of the building to get into) as well as expansion of the kitchen and the removal of an existing closet and shelves. Once this is complete, its on to painting! Also on site is a parsonage which is home to missionaries assisting the church. There is a pond and Japanese garden on site which need attention.

Who
The team currently consists of 11 members plus Rick and Linda Taylor, our team leads and of course the missionaries stationed in Ube. Faith Promise Missionary Wes Taylor and his family are the on-site contacts for this mission.

When
The mission trip is scheduled for April 10, 2009 - April 18, 2009.

Requests
Please continue to pray for the team, the Church in Ube, that God go before the team to remove any potential obstacles, and for provision of all necessary items to complete God's will in this task.
