Objective: To join the mission team headed
by Chad and Jennifer Huddleston in Osaka, Japan, beginning in July
2001, for two years, in order to draw Japanese people closer to Jesus
through sharing the Bible and my life.
I have a deep interest in other cultures and other people. Since
High School I have desired to learn more and visit as many cultures as
possible. With recent medical problems, I see no greater
ministry than to directly work with people in Osaka and share my life
and the purpose and reason Christ has given me. The opportunity
to serve another six weeks in Osaka solidified my desire and gave me a
unique experience to see the Holy Spirit working in Japan.
Because of my passion for the world and my lifelong training in the
Bible at the Arvada Church of Christ and my ministry at the Malibu
Church of Christ over the last four years, I have decided to devote
myself to spreading the Gospel. I praise God for answering
prayers and providing direction.
