Japan Summer 2018

This is from my past/First Mission Trip I ever did back in 2018 with The Gathering (2018) and it was opening to my eyes on many things. there's a lot of work needed to be done as only 1% (2018) of Japanese follow Christ, and that the mission field is tough due to the massive influence of other religions, High Work hours, and sadly high depression/suicide rates.

It made my heart hurt for the people of Japan and it made me want to help share the gospel with them more, though-out our trip we worked with our IMB (International Mission Board) Missionary contact Mark Busbiy and his family, as well as other churches like Shin-Okubo Baptist Chruch, Ark Christian Chruch/English School, and Tokyo Baptist Homeless outreach. we also hosted a retreat for the IMB Staff and Japanese pastors in Tokyo to help encourage them and to pour into them as well.

One of my main purposes for going to Japan was to reconnect with past Students/Friends that I've met at IBM and to hopefully reshare the gospel with them and rekindle our relationships as well

Bellow are Japanese Friends I've made through my time at IBM these friends are from their exchange years

from 2015 to 2018
