Welcome to my page! I'm Janine and I'm a missionary with World Indigenous Missions, sent out by this great church-- New Voice! I've been involved in world missions for many years, and have been a full-time missionary for quite some time now, previously serving in Mexico for three years. |
I'm now embarking on a mission to Tokyo, Japan, where God has been calling me to serve. In Japan, I'll be serving young people, using friendship evangelism and other outreaches that are relevant to the modern Japanese young person.
Working with a team in a part of Tokyo called Machida (which is a major hangout area), we'll be starting a church-plant, in which we plan to target these young people and disciple them within small group contexts, and raise up indigenous leaders to take over while we move on to another place in great city of Tokyo.
In this blog, I'll be updating you on all the various adventures and day-to-day experiences of the mission field. You can expect to read about what God is doing in Japan, projects and preparations, my perspective on culture, and just what it's like to live in another country.
the other tabs to the left to find out more about what's going on. I appreciate your prayers and support... without you, this couldn't be done!

Oh the Things...
August 30, 2010
Do you think if I sing a song, autumn will come? I have never wanted winter this badly before; in fact, I've never ever wanted winter. But, right now, it's after 9pm, according to the web feels like it's 90 (inside my home too, windows are open!) and there's a...

Shortened
August 27, 2010
So, this is my new attempt to shorten things up. I've been realising lately that my blogs always look longer than I think they are when writing them... And I assume that like me, you probably don't read long things either! This week has been interesting in school especially... everything...

I met Mark on Friday in Machida to see about getting my camera fixed. When we had all gone to the beach, I managed to get sand in my shutter, which is not condusive to making functionable a camera. At the service desk, Mark explained to the customer service guy...

Five Months Today!
August 17, 2010
It's been sweaty ones lately. Sheesh. Anyway, last weekend ended on an interesting note. Kengo and I had made plans to make some food for whoever from FUSE could come and hang out for an evening. Later, another girl, Kaori, got involved in helping make food, which was a lot...
