Greetings, all you wonderful people! First of all, a huge thank you to everyone who gave to my GoFundMe and/or donated toward my trip back to the USA! I've been fully funded and have already bought all of my flight tickets, both international and domestic. I'm so blessed to have so many people help me return home for a bit! I seriously cannot wait to see you in person!
Speaking of, here are the final confirmed dates for my trip:
November 16th: Arrive in San Diego, CA.
December 19th: Fly up to Portland, OR.
January 2nd: Visit Milwaukee, WI.
January 9th: Zip on over to Raleigh, NC.
January 17th: Return to San Diego.
January 21st: Fly back to Japan.
If any of you who live near these places wish to meet with me, please let me know ASAP! Two months is gonna go by very quickly, but I do hope to see as many of you as possible! So excited!
On a side note, about three weeks ago, I made a video about my first trip to Japan back in 2017, where I actually had the opportunity to climb Mt. Fuji and had a powerful encounter with the power of God. Also, the entire video is in Japanese, spoken by me! English subtitles included. I'm still very rusty at speaking the language, but making this video reassured me that I can use my talents to truly speak into the hearts of the Japanese people using their own tongue.
I actually got to show this video to an afterschool daycare operated by Operation Blessing Japan (OBJ), who have been doing community projects in Fukushima during and after the Great Tohoku Earthquake of 2011. Here is a link to their website: here
It was heartwarming to see the children engaged and able to understand the words spoken, and even had good questions about my faith afterwards. My prayer is that God will give me more opportunity to use my gift of movie making to reach even more Japanese people, so that the Gospel can be made clear to them in their hearts.
Here is the video:
Revelation 14:6:
“Then I saw another angel flying directly overhead, with an eternal gospel to proclaim to those who dwell on earth, to every nation and tribe and language and people.”
