I am a student at Central Christian College of the Bible and I will be finishing up my degree this semester. I am writing you because I am planning to move to Japan after I graduate in order to my call to ministry there. I have been to Japan three times already. All for various ministry opportunities. Twice during spring break trips and one this summer as an intern at ECS English School. I have worked with several churches in Japan and I interned with some missionaries in Kashiwazaki city in Niigata prefecture this past summer. During my experiences in Japan, I was able to connect with a few people and get at the heart of the Japanese people. I have come to understand that while the Japanese people are overly religious in their practices, they remain remain disconnected from true belief. I understand that to them their practices are just part of "being Japanese." This way of thinking is what I seek to enter into as I prepare to come to Japan. I long to become Japanese in the same way that the Apostle Paul did with those whom he ministered to. Currently, I am working to establish support to enable my return to Japan. What I will do in Japan is the biggest question I have. I know that the opportunity abounds in Japan because there are unreached people everywhere. I realized that the first step I need to take is to embrace the Japanese language. I have been slowly teaching myself since this summer. However, I am still struggling with basic grammar and such. This leads me to you. I am seeking some guidance as to how to begin life long ministry in Japan. I would greatly appreciate it if you would lend me any help or advice that you have. I look forward to hearing from you soon. In Christ, Drew Glosson My name is Drew Glosson. I am a student at Central Christian College of the Bible and I will be finishing up my degree this semester.
