So it was only a month ago when I was sitting in Irvine, California wondering if I was going to get on the plane bound for Japan. I was $2,500.00 short of my support goal the day before we left. To make the day better it was my 24th birthday. Yep, my golden birthday. I was turning 24 on the 24th. Shortly after lunch I was called into a meeting where we discussed the reality in the possibility of not going on the trip.
It was hard to face this reality but I knew that if I was meant to go on the trip then support would come in. I am the type of person who has everything planned far in advance. So not knowing with mere hours till take off was personal test. Within the hour following my meeting God provided $1,500 from friends and their family. I was able to leave a personal check for the remaining $1,000.00 and jump on a plane to Japan! Amazing! Yes, I am still raising support. My Grandma and her friends are collecting cans to help with the support amount. They are such an amazing blessing to me! So if you know anyone who would like to support my mission project please let me know. You could also send your cans to my Grandma! ;)
Our team arrived to briefing short $15,000.00 of support goal. In a matter of three days we were able to raise the need amount! God is so good!!
Thank you for your prayers and support! You are in my heart and prayers!

thats crazy cool sarah, I knew God would come through for you! its always amazing to see how God uses people to supply our needs, I think thats the most humbling part of it all. I swear some of japanese girls I see in your pictures look SOO familiar. Bring up Hi-BA (high school born againers) with some of the japanese leaders, I bet you anything some of the campus crusade people came out of that. They might even know me! :P
