Hello from Chloe!
The Lord has opened the door for me to go back to Japan this summer
and spend a year there on a short term missions trip. I hope to leave
in early August.
This trip is very exciting for me, because it will allow me to truly
experience what missions will look like if I were to return to Japan
as a full-time missionary in the next several years. From August to
December 2025, I will be in Kumamoto Prefecture, the same area that my
parents served in for 20 years. I will be working with a missionary
family there and getting involved with two local churches (one
national and one international). I also hope to use this time to
refresh my knowledge of the culture and language, as well as taking a
few classes online through Faith Baptist Bible College in order to
finish my degree.
From January to June 2026, I will be moving up to the Tokyo area to
work with Jared and Nozomi Vanning, who I am very excited about
working with. Their approach to ministry aligns well with my own, and
I look forward to learning and growing with them.
As I look forward to potentially moving into full-time ministry in the
future, this missions trip is a huge part of figuring out where I
would serve and how God can use me on the mission field. I would
appreciate your prayers through this whole process!
If you are interested in supporting me financially, you can go to
abwe.org and click on “Support a worker” under the Give tab.
Currently, my name is the first in the list, but you can also search
for it in the search bar. Or this link
(https://give.abwe.org/worker/10963) will take you directly to my
information. My estimated support needs are $2,805.79 a month, with
the addition of a one-time cost of $3,500 for passage and a vehicle.
This brings the total amount to $31,557.90.
Thank you for your interest and your prayers!
