about This summer, a team of American college students from the Northwest partnered with an international Campus Crusade for Christ Staff with the intention of building relationships and sharing the gospel with students in Osaka, Japan. I'm back!!! recent news 7/23 Erin is back and she'll be giving the minute for missions at Omak First Presbyterian Church on 7/27! See some pictures! Facebook!! New pictures! 6/22   More pictures 7/1 More Pictures 7/6 And a video. But I'm not in the actual video part, but in the slide show. Erin is video-camera shy. But it's  fun--7/21 7/6 This week is our last, and we're leaving Osaka on Tuesday. We've spent our week having last minute meetings and saying goodbye to friends we don't know if we'll ever see again in this life or in eternity...Please keep praying especially for Marie, Yoshika, Emi, and Haruka, that they would continue to grow in their new faith! Last night was our going-away party. It hasn't really struck me that we're leaving, because I could just keep living here normally as if it were home. But I have this feeling that I'll be back... Every day we pass by the rice fields, which were empty lots of water when we came, and now are filled with growing stalks. We won't be able to see when the rice is actually harvested. I thought about how this relates to our ministry here. :) Next I'll be in Korea for two weeks traveling with my family and visiting a few friends. See you soon! older news-->
