Koza Music Town Worship Outreach

The single's group at my church wanted to do a worship outreach and asked me to sing for it. The band was a few guys from church that are also involved in the youth ministry on one of the military bases here. We practiced the morning of the event and then sang for about 3 hours at Koza Music town, an outdoor venue here. It was a lot of fun... completely exhausting... but really fun.

Entertainment Night

The school held an entertainment night as a fundraiser. It was a combination between a talent show for the students and a showcase of local talents. It was also a great outreach opportunity to share the Gospel with the parents of our students. I was asked to sing for the second part which was a lot of fun.

A friend of mine from church, Allan, was our MC for the night... Suzuka translated for him

Science Fair

Every year the school has a science fair. The students work for months preparing their science projects. I got to be a judge for this year's science fair... which ended up being more difficult than I thought it would be. There were some very interesting projects and all the kids did a great job. It took me back to my science fair days.

St. Patrick's Day

On St. Patrick's Day, the school allowed the students to wear green instead of their school uniforms. It was a fun day and some of the students got pretty crazy with their outfits.
