Street outreach band

This Monday, our small group leader invited us to an outreach event organised by church. It's a street outreach band, playing and singing Christian music in the street of Shibuya, known as one of the busiest areas in Tokyo. Apparently they go there every Monday and Thursday nights to sing and reach out to people who may be interested.

Her voice is really beautiful

It's such a great thing for them to do. However, it was the first time for me to do something like this, and I don't think I did a good job. All I did that night was standing at one spot stiffly and clapping none stop, because I wasn't brave enough to go around to approach people.

Having said that, I am glad I participated in the event. It was a good way for me to build up my confidence and finding my own way to tell the gospel to the people in the streets, although I totally failed at the first trial. I think it is great to be able to do it with other young people who are also passionate about God and learn something new each time.

Our lovely church people, of course including me


This is the singer from Jesus lifehouse band


This boy really likes music and keeps clapping during the singing.

Playing hard before Uni starts

We went to a place called Odaiba on Thursday. Since Uni is starting next Monday, we thought we should make the most out of our time here, hence planned a trip to the famous shopping heaven, (and a romantic place for couples at night).....Approximately 1 hour from our dormitory. My friend and I now have gained confidence in our direction after 10 days in Japan, and more praise to our acheivement in getting there without getting lost!! If you are good at directions, you probably have to imagine how meaningful it is to be able to get to a place without getting lost for direction blinds. Monorail station! The name of the monorail is Lily seagull, beautiful isn't it? The monorail track. The interior of the monorail. There weren't many people because it was a public holiday morning and the rain was pouring. Still I was very excited to be on the monorail, though my whole body was totally damped by the rain, including socks and shoes....... The weather in Japan has been strange th...

Jesus lifehouse

I went to church today, and the name of the church is Jesus lifehouse. It's a Japanese and English bilingual church situated not too far from the heart of Tokyo. Thanks to Shermayne's friend- Kat, that I am able to find a church immediately after my arrival in Japan. Moreover, the church is not too far from my dormitory either, it only takes about half an hour to get there by train. In Japan, this is considered quite close. There are four services surprsingly, people get to choose the best time that suits them. The one I went was the 1pm service as was suggested by Kat. This is a pretty good time for me as well. The hall was smaller than I expected, but when I got there, the service had already started and was already filled with people. The music was quite loud though, people were singing, clapping and dancing around. Jesus lifehouse is probably a smaller version of Planetshakers in Melbourne, coincidentally that the English pastor is an Australian, too. Apparently he is from ...

Disneyland!!

What has Jude being doing these days? Well , firstly, I have been playing hard, and surprisingly studying hard, too. The workload here in Japan is more than Melb Uni, I have more contact hours and there is always tests and homework after each lesson. So I have no choice but to manage my schedule better, to balance my study and play time better. Thank God that since coming to Japan, I have made many many great friends. They are just so wonderful and have been a big part of my life here in Japan. I thank God this is the answer to my prayer, because I prayed that I would make many friends here and have a great time together, and this is happening, and I am sure more are to come. OK HERE COMES DISNEYLAND!!!!!!!!!!!!! When you think of Tokyo, Disneyland is something you cannot miss. Although the name of the park is known asTokyo Disneyland, however, it is actually situated in the neighbouring prefecture called Chiba. Anyway, my lovely friend-Lydia and I took a crazy night trip to the Amazin...
