Hi! I'm Aki, a Japanese missionary in Toronto. My fellow missionary and I are taking on a 4,200km cross-Canada road trip challenge from July 22-29 - a bold adventure with local youth to experience the vastness of this amazing country together!
Our Challenge
Japanese missionaries + Canadian youth = Epic cross-country adventure!
We're driving from Toronto to Vancouver, with stops in:
- Sudbury, Winnipeg, Calgary - Connect with church families along the way
- Banff - Experience Canada's incredible natural beauty
- Vancouver - Visit our church there and celebrate reaching the Pacific coast!
Why This Matters to Me
I've been serving as a missionary in Toronto for a year now, but I've barely had the chance to experience Canada's incredible nature. This road trip is my opportunity to truly discover the heart of Canada - from the forests of Ontario to the mountains of Alberta to the Pacific coast. I want to fall even more in love with this beautiful country that has become my home!
Why This Week?
This is our only week off from busy missionary work this year. Instead of a regular vacation, we want to take on this incredible challenge with young people - showing them what's possible when you step out of your comfort zone and dream big!

- 2 Japanese missionaries (confirmed)
- Church youth can join if we reach our stretch goal!
