Over the past few months, I have been
in the application process with Mission to the World to return to
Japan as a two-year short-term missionary. It has been a long,
thorough journey so far, but I am very excited to tell you all that this week I was approved by MTW to return to Japan!
A week from today, I will be flying
down to MTW's main office in Atlanta for a week to meet with the
staff and be involved in discussions on support raising and other
topics. I will be down there with other missionaries in the same
stage I am. (I am very much looking forward to meeting new people who
will be going all over the world with a heart to spread God's good
news!)
I do not currently have a set date nor
timeframe for returning to Japan, but I will most likely have more
information to share with you all when I return from Atlanta. I can
tell you that I am looking to go back for at least 2 years, and I
will more than likely be serving as a teacher in the school where I
worked previously, along with helping the team wherever there is a
need.
I am incredibly excited, and am beyond
blessed that God is calling me back to the land I love so dearly. I
can't wait to see how He works, and when it is that He wants me to
return. I would greatly appreciate your prayers, as there is lots to
be done before I can go back. Please pray that I would patiently
await His timing, and that I would further seek Him and ways I can
glorify Him.
In Him,
Melanie
“But thanks be to God, who in Christ
always leads us in triumphal procession, and through us spreads the
fragrance of the knowledge of him everywhere. For we are the aroma of
Christ to God among those who are being saved and among those who are
perishing.” - 2 Corinthians 2:14-15
