Our team performed a skit today at the Guy's Club meeting about the Prodigal Son. If you're not familiar with it, you should check it out in Luke 15:11-32. We tried to make it more modern by having the son leave home and squander his inheritance in Vegas. We also made it into a musical, but that's a whole different story. The students watched it and then got to discuss it with us and ask questions. A lot of them are very reluctant to speak English, so it was difficult to communicate. However, when we later split into smaller groups we were able to talk about the forgiveness of the father and the jealousy of the older brother. The students expressed that they wanted the type of father who would love them regardless of their mistakes. We also talked about how difficult it is to understand mercy and how in order to show others mercy and forgiveness, we need someone to show it to us first. These students are thinking and sharing on a deep level and it is really exciting. The staff couple here shared with us that they have a feeling that this summer is very special, which is so encouraging for us. We feel like God is doing something HUGE in Japan -- in addition to several students attending our larger Bible discussion, there are at least four girls who want to join our women's Bible discussion!
Also......afterward we taught them the Wobble. That's all I need to say about that.
