Happy New Year!

Hello this is Koji posting...
During my winter vacation I went back to my family home, and today I came back to my home in Sapporo. During the vacation I had a chance to work as a staff of a christian camp again. And there I met Ryo. I dont know if you rememeber him but he was near our small group at EARC. And I had a chance to talk about this blog! and he said he will be happy to perticipate this blog with his small group!
And thank you for parying. December 16th we had a Christmas message party and the friends that I was praying and invited came to the party!(^-^) So that was a very happy thing for me. Thank God!

These were the things that happened these days i my life! Well there were a lot more but thats about it for now!:)

A shared Joy is a double Joy, a shared failure is a half failure

Dear friends,
It has been a while since my last post, many things happened. For example, last Christmas I nearly got hit by a taxi that was hit by another car. Thank God that I'm alive. And most of all, Thank God that I have a heart to write to all of you again. ^^ (Miss u"")

Anyways, today topic!! You may wonder what it's. I got those words above from Eagle's Conference that I just paticipated last 1 hour. I cant wait to tell and share what I have got.

Recently, I was suffering for my own leadership. I have to be a president of a National Camp 2009, which is the largest retreat that gather all Cell groups from Thailand to this camp. And you know what I felt like I'm not the one that is for this big event. I'm not good enough to be a leader in this service. I felt very bad...

But thank God that today, God guided me to the conference in which I learned the true meaning of leadership, is to follow Jesus, being what God want us to be, not what we want to be, not what we ourselves think it should be, not what we already model. The work is meaningless without God.

And I should answer these questions, who am I, who am I serving, and whose am I?
There are more to tell but just put it right here. Now that I have a strength to carry on.

Hope you are all have a great New Year 2009. And May God be with you, bless you and protect you.
With Love
Ben
