Japan, too?

 むちゃでむぼうとわらわれようと、いじがささえのけんかみち！



Yep. After Africa, I am going to Japan to need great. I know what you're thinking:
"Why would he do that? They dont even need any help, right?"
"Huh? What are you talking about now?"
"Why would Trevor want to go to Japan to need great? Dont they have like, a million and a half publishers there?"
"Near 3 million, I heard!)


 かべがあたっらなぐってこわす！

Most people dont seem to realize that Japan is an Island nation, and quite beautiful indeed. It has very diverse terrain.

Actually, about 221,000 publishers. Give or take. And they are doing quiet well, actually. So why would someone choose to go to Japan when they dont seem to have a great need? Well I am not going to Japan to help the Japanese field. I am going to Japan to help the English field.Therein lies the great need, according to the Japan Branch Office of Jehovah's Witnesses.

After writing the Japan Branch (through my congregation's service committee), I got a reply that gave me two different congregations near Tokyo that have a strong need. After a lot of praying about it, I chose one and wrote the C(oordinator)O(f the)B(ody of)E(lders) there, including my email address. After a while, he emailed me, and now we are working out the details. He gave me a brief overview of their congregation. 11 publishers, 2 elders, 1 ministerial servant, and 10 Pioneers. All native Japanese speakers other than one native English speaker.. Unfortunately, in August they are becoming an English group instead of an English congregation. They received this direction from the Branch office. Now, they have part of their meetings in Japanese, and part in English. Their field service, too, is a mix of the two languages. Once I arrive, I will have to prepare to give talks in both languages, and serve in the field ministry in both languages.

Jehovah has been blessing me in this, as well. It seems that everything that needs to happen to get the ball rolling just presents itself to me on a golden platter! Remember that perfect game of Tetris? It seems like it is at it again!
Anyway. I am focusing on Uganda, but while I have time I will be working out all the details of moving to Japan, like finding a job, finding a place to stay, choosing dates, etc. It has taken a few months to prepare for Uganda, but we also put sort of a rush on it. With as much time as I have now to prepare for Japan, it should be a lot easier! Well, I hope so. My main problem is money, to be honest. Uganda and Japan need greating adventures certainly take a lot of the green stuff. (Seeings how Japan is one of the most expensive places on earth) Oh well. The way I see it, money was made to be spent, so once I get the numbers up, I can blow them on furthering my service to Jehovah! Ah, good times. Better times to come, but still good times here.

Thus, you are now updated on a small aspect of my life. Here is a little 'trevortimeline' for your viewing pleasure!

Thus, I bid you all a temporary farewell. I'll update the blog with an 'Africa' related post next time! Thanks for reading!
