When it comes to how to serve in ministry back in Japan, I guess it depends on what you have a passion specifically. Would you would go with a missions organization or find a job. For me I knew the Lord was leading me to Japan and was just trying to finding work in Tokyo to be able to at least live in Japan again, while searing for ways to live in Japan the Lord led me to the current ministry I will be working with.

For starters I guess I would ask do you and your husband both feel that the Lord is leading you to Japan? that will be very important. Do you guys see yourselves in Japan long term or just for a couple years? And if so in what capacity would you want serve in Japan?

I guess those are some of my initial thoughts, but let me know what you think… and thank you very much for your prayers! they are much needed and appreciated.

I even noticed in one of the pictures in your layout Ayumi Saito from Student Impact? She was the first Japanese person I really met and got to talk to and she made such an impression on me! Small world!!

I am so encouraged and inspired by your story and the steps of faith you are taking to reach the Japanese! I have been in love with the country and culture for most of my life and it was my #1 dream to serve the Lord in Tokyo. Now that I’m home I have been praying endlessly and really feel called to serve there full time.

If you have any advice or thoughts for a married couple looking into serving in Tokyo I would love to hear from you!

God Bless and I will be praying for you!

As far as w/CCC, it’s all a difficult business–from both sides. Do you follow the desires or submit to leadership? From the organizational side, do you make general, “good idea” policies from other people’s past failures, or do you allow people to do what they want?

But, no matter what, we don’t work for an organization, we work for the Lord (possibly through an organization, or not).

Lead him, Mighty God.
