"We had an overnight Bible camp at Narita church for kids ages 3-junior high, and were joined by the Narita Filipino Alliance Church.  This church was started by missionaries from the Alliance churches in the Philippines.  The kids at the Filipino church go to Japanese school, so it was very easy to do the camp together without language barriers.  There were 25 kids, as well as over a dozen volunteers, including teachers, and the youth worship band from the church did the worship. 

"Probably the best part of the camp was the evening service where the teachers washed the feet of the children and prayed for them.  It was VERY touching.  I had a total of 3 hours of sleep (I was in the room with the Jr. High girls!), and made lots of fun memories with the kids."
