Briefing for Tokyo!



I am so thankful to be with the team for my summer mission trip! We're leaving for the airport in about 12 hours. After three days together, we basically feel like family (sorry that's really cheesy but true.) Every member of our team is amazing! Already, they've shown ways they shine for Jesus (the reason we're together and going to Japan.) Hallelujah!

Right now, I would love for you to pray that these things would be really true of our team:

A. the Holy Spirit is present
B. unity, communication, and flexibility with the Japanese staff
C. good rest
D. safe and smooth travels
E. blessed time together

Thank you!

P.S. If helpful, back row (ish) Ryan, Katherine Anne, Becky, me, Chris, Julie, Richard, Christian; front row Blake, Casey, Nikki, Chelsea, Hannah, Rachel, Courtney ☀

less than a week





We're leaving for Tokyo on Friday! Briefing for the staff starts tomorrow and the students arrive on Tuesday. In preparation for a month out of the country, I spent the weekend at the beach with my fam. I also made sure to get some chocolate milk tonight, because I won't be seeing that for a while either.

Tokyo in 2 Weeks



I am tremendously blessed to be leaving for the wonderful country of Japan extremely soon! Please pray for final preparations: housing, funds, passports, anything you think of concerning travel :) These are pictures of team members I now work alongside at Cal State Fullerton. Ryan is an alum of CSUF and intern with Campus Crusade for Christ. Becky is a junior Japanese major. The rest of our team will be coming from all over the country! I'll try to keep you updated once every week from now until we return at the end of June. Thanks so incredibly much for your prayers and interest!
