God has opened the door for Anias to go on a short-term mission trip to Japan, June 9-19, 2023, with Christ Church Lutheran as a part of the Nihon Kenshu program. They will be sharing God’s love and serving the Lord by sharing Christ with Japanese students through the giving of personal testimony, acting out skits and songs, and showing love in home stays. First, we are asking for prayer for Anias. In addition to the preparation and the transportation concerns, he will be experiencing a new culture, a new language, and new living conditions, and so prayer would be much appreciated. Second, you are invited to be a part of what God is doing in Japan by helping Anias with the costs of the Mission trip. There are 8 students and 3 chaperones, so there are many costs to account for. Any gift is much appreciated.
