The Schedule For Our Mission

     Below is the schedule for our team for the ten days while we are in Chino.  Although it may not look like there is very much going on, we spend a lot of time decorating the church and preparing the materials for our lessons and activities.  On Sundays, the MEBIG is the Sunday School for Chino Christ Church.  In MEBIG, the ME stands for Memory Verse; the BI stands for Bible Lesson; and the G stands for Games.  The 3 main components of the Sunday school are Memory Verse, Bible Lesson, and Games.  On Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday you see EEC.  EEC stands for English Experience Camp - very similar to VBS (Vacation Bible School) that we have in our churches.  Most of these activities in the schedule you will read about in the blog while we are in Chino.  Please be in prayer for all the team members as we finish up our planning and preparation before leaving for Japan.  If you want to stay up with us in real time - Japan is sixteen hours ahead of PDT.  
P.S. - If you see Don Kobayashi and Koby in the blog - they are the same person.
