Update

Dear friends and family,
I got some exciting news today, our paperwork for visas to Japan came through! I and my team will be flying to Japan next month! After the waiting and disappointment of this time last year, it's really exciting. Thanks for praying for this coming year.
So, what's next? Though I'm still waiting for a plane ticket and a set leave date, I'm moving forward in the last things I need to do here. I appreciate your continued prayers through this process!
  • I'm still raising the money I need to fund my ministry for the year. By God's grace, I am lacking only $548/month in money pledged to be given monthly and $1053 in one time gifts to cover my upfront costs! God knows the timing of things, and I am so much closer to my goal than I was at this time last year. But I must have full financial support before I fly to Tokyo. Thank you so much if you're partnering financially with me to bring the gospel to Japan. If you haven't begun giving please do that by the end of the month. If your curious about supporting my ministry financially, please contact me! Gifts can be of any size and are tax deductible. I can send simple directions for giving online (give.cru.org/give/View/0629228?pp=) or by check. Pray with me that God provides all of my funding by the 31st!
  • I'm packing and hoping everything fits in two suitcases! Getting everything in order for a year living internationally takes a lot of time. I know I won't be able to come say goodbye to all of you (and some of you are very far away), but once I have a leave date I'm going to set up a goodbye party in Kansas City.
  • I am totally free to share about ministry, prayer requests, and all my experiences in Japan. You can read about them here!
Praise God for all He's done!
