Purpose and Provision

So obviously, I'm not in Japan yet. But anticipating next two months I knew I wanted to keep my supporters informed as to what's going on during my internship. My sister Suza inspired me to write a blog for my time there. Hopefully, I'll be able to post nearly every day with little language and culture findings, as well as news about how God is working there. I will also be posting in these days leading up to my departure with thoughts on scripture and prayer requests.      All I can think to say at the moment is how incredibly God has already been providing for this opportunity. At the beginning of the fundraising process, right after being accepted, I frequently got a sinking feeling in my stomach when I thought about the amount of money and span of time in which I was required to have all my funds raised. I must say, God kept me on the edge of my seat. But in the past four days, a sudden rush of support appeared in my account, and I'm only $500 away from bei...

Week 4 & 5

I'm tempted to make an excuse for being so late in writing another update... Busyness likely played a part, but laziness was the root. I apologize for taking so long!  The past two weeks have been packed with events as the school year is wrapping up here at CCSI.

Thankfully, more ups than downs, and God is training my stubborn heart through the downs. :)  I've especially enjoyed the privilege of getting to participate in the Alive International church (held at the chapel next to the school) praise band for the past couple weeks. It's  amazing to play alongside incredibly talented musicians, but even more so to see a  multicultural family united in worshipping God. The community I've witnessed in CCSI and the churches that meet at Honda is really unique and beautiful; a sanctuary in a place I might otherwise feel isolated. I'm s...

Back in the States!

Back in the States! Note: I would like to apologize for not posting the last several weeks of my internship. I kinda fell off the wagon as things got really busy the last couple weeks. I just arrived safely home yesterday back in D.C. and reconnected with family in Annapolis.  7/28/17 I am now on the very last stretch of my internship here. I am astounded at how fast it's gone by. I return to Chiba today and on Monday my internship will officially end, though I will be spending a week with friends before leaving the country.   Right now, I am gearing up for the last of four days serving in Nagoya. The team here is a group of amazingly talented people who are all using their gifts to serve the purpose of the gospel. We are helping them wrap up their annual music/vbs camp called Kids Gospel. I love this style of ministry as it's a great way to expose kids to the gospel for the first time and connect families to the church. Every day the campers have been practic...
