Hello Everyone!
I thought I would introduce myself and tell you a little more about why decided to make this blog. I have been blessed with the opportunity to go abroad to Northeast Asia to share the love of Christ in the Summer of 2020 with SEU Missions. I felt called during our "Exposure" event. We got to hear from pastors and missionaries from across the globe and I just felt this tug at my heart to go. I am excited for all that I will learn in the months leading up to the trip, during the trip, and after our return home. I believe God will do such amazing things in the hearts of the people we will meet, as well as mine and the people on my team. I am so very excited as this is also my very first missions trip!
I will specifically going on our Japan and South Korea portion of the tip. South Korea especially holds a special place in my heart.
For those who do not know, South Korea was ranked with the highest suicide rates in the world. Having personally seen the effects of suicide, it saddens my heart to think so many people believe that taking their life is their only way out of suffering. Koreans are such a hardworking group of people, but their society holds such high standards to outward appearance. Our goal is to bring the hope and love of Jesus into their lives to help give them a sense of meaning and healing.
I want to use this blog to share my team and I's journey leading up to our arrival in Japan and South Korea. I want to share the many things we will be learning, as well as show how God will be working in our lives.
I also wanted to add my Managed Missions account to this post, so if you feel led to donate, any amount is greatly appreciated. If you can't, no worries! What you can do is keep my team and me in your prayers as we navigate this journey and that He will speak through us and open the hearts of the people we will come across! You can also share this with your friends and family to spread the word!
Thank you for your support and I can't wait to see what the Lord will be doing and I look forward to sharing this journey with you as well!
Blessings, Olivia Fulton
