Broaden Your Vision!




2013 Chi Alpha Campus Ministry Training Seminar.   
On March 7-8 there were attendees from 29 churches and about 25 schools. 
Two were baptized in the Holy Spirit in the last night’s service.
As I transition to a year of itineration in the US, I have been evaluating my past term of ministry. During the last five years of serving in Tokyo, our ministry team hosted:

  • 14 Chi Alpha and church teams
  •  2 church interns
  • 15 summer English teachers
 We were able to house teams and ministry team members at the Chi Alpha Student Center and hold many events thanks to God’s provision through many partners and workers.
 
We are on 29 campuses throughout Japan. I personally ministered at 5 Tokyo-area campuses—3 of those on a weekly basis—and  met innumerable students to whom I introduced Jesus through Bible studies, prayer, fellowship, and worship.

Going to Malaysia and Thailand for conferences, to Singapore to help a church staff get ministry training, to Taiwan to minister to indigenous people, and to South Korea to help start campus ministry broadened my missions perspective for Asia Pacific nations. During my college years I envisioned reaching Asia. Now, at this time, the Lord of the nations is beginning to show me the reality of that vision!

However, this vision is MUCH bigger than I. It requires greater partnership with God and people. Returning stateside for itineration, it is my prayer that as I minister and communicate the vision, God will encourage His church and raise up intercessors, supporters, and new workers who will catch a greater glimpse of our God and His immense love for people everywhere.

I look forward to seeing many of you in the coming year. I also look forward to meeting new people who will partner with me to carry out God’s mission to the nations. Please let me know how I can serve you!
