Our Chi Alpha Japan team in Tokyo welcomed Beverly Elcock in April. Last week we welcomed Sayaka Ikeda, who served in Illinois for 15 years as a campus missionary and international church pastor. They both came to know Jesus when they were Chi Alpha students in the US. Now they are serving with us to reach students in Japan! TJ Low is from Malaysia, Roslyn Holland is from Texas, Beverly is from Michigan/Indiana, and Joyce Kitano is from Hawaii and Illinois. Joyce is the national director for Chi Alpha Japan.
Since May we have hosted Chi Alpha teams from Ohio State University, Penn State University-Behrend, University of Texas-Arlington, and University of Hawaii, as well as a church team from First Assembly of God, Honolulu, Hawaii. The last team from Missouri State University arrives June 26. Each team bring different talents and styles of ministry to reach students on campuses and to encourage pastors and believers at various churches.
