CAJ Wins Far East Soccer Championship in Overtime!
PCollier1
Thanks for all of you who prayed for CAJ during the Far East Tournament in Okinawa. We're going to save the details for our July newsletter but here are a few tidbits. After playing to a 1-1 tie through overtime, we won the championship after penalty kicks. It was a tremendous game that put an exclamation mark on a fabulous week and season of soccer.
CAJ finished the season undefeated (a first for the soccer team) and won the Far East Championship for the 2nd time in three years. We give glory to God for everything the guys accomplished this year and believe that many of the lessons they learned this year will pay off for years to come. 


Alice Goes Pro...

Thank you so much for praying for me, Alice, during my 5-day intensive video-editing class. It was very hard to be away from Sean AND Kadin, but our dear friends in Austin, the Grigsby's, took very good care of me while I was away! The training was very advanced, but SO helpful! 
I was the youngest in the class, and felt a little intimidated being surrounded by true professionals in the film and media world. (One guy was flying out the very next week to shoot the music video for a well-known pop artist! ) I guess I had my own David and Goliath experience!   
Thanks to all of your prayers, I was able to pass the certification exam! It was very difficult. I was one of only two in the class to pass the exam.  I am now an Apple Certified Professional!  May God use the skills and the training He allowed me to gain at the film school to spread His glory even more in Japan!
