As you can see, the Lord has been faithful in providing support as many have answered His call to provide both in prayer and by financial means. The team still needs to raise just under $3,500 to meet the goal of $27,500 to provide full financial support for the mission. We continue to know that the goal will be met in the Lord's timing.
Our major expense prior to departure is of course airline tickets. Tickets were purchased last week and cost just under $12,000, which was cheaper than originally anticipated. The bulk of funds collected will be put towards the purchase of items needed for construction once in Japan. The rest will go towards other miscellaneous travel expenses which includes tolls to cross roadways in Japan (it's apparently not inexpensive to drive on local roadways there) and for food.
Travel Plans
As far as travel goes, the team departs Atlanta on Friday, April 10th with an early afternoon flight directly to Seoul, South Korea. After a brief layover it's on to Fukuoka, Japan and then a drive into Ube. The return will be on Sunday, April 19th with a return to Seoul and a short layover in Los Angeles before returning to Atlanta around 8 PM Sunday night.
Detailed Itinerary and Travel Plans
Hopefully a detailed itinerary will be available soon that will list the team's complete itinerary with specific prayer requests for each day the team will be away from home. And, special thanks to the Schlender's who agreed to bring along their laptop so that the team blog will be able to be updated while the team is in Japan.
Prayer
Please continue to pray for the mission and the people in Ube.
