在認識耶穌前，我是一個對事業充滿熱忱的職場新人，一直
渴望善用我的中文、日文、和英文在亞洲各地工作。所以當
神將宣教這個概念放在我心裡的時候，我第一時間回應神
「別揀選我，差派另一位吧！」
我與神掙扎了一段時間，答應為祂在日本青森縣事奉兩個月，
沒想到這個經歷竟然打開我的心、激發了我對宣教的熱情。
過了不久，神帶著我離開我的工作，踏入神學院讀碩士。
目前，神為我開了路在澳州悉尼服事日本人。我的事工專注於
短期在悉尼生活、讀書、或工作，然後返回日本長住的日本人
——例如留學生及工作假期參加者。
當日本人在外國生活時，他們一般都較容易接受新事物和
新經歷，包括教會。我們希望這些日本“海歸”能夠認識耶穌，
在基督裡成為新造的人，將耶穌的福音帶回日本給親戚朋友。
代禱事項
- 讓世界各地的日本海歸都能被基督徒熱烈歡迎、 有機會 接觸和明白福音、並認耶穌為主。
- 讓日本海歸在海外及國內都能在信仰上成長，成為栽培 門徒的基督徒。
- 讓Alvina的話語及行為都能見証耶穌的愛給日本海歸。
Before I knew Christ, I had aspired towards a corporate career where I could use my proficiency in Japanese and Chinese. So when God suddenly put the idea of mission on my heart, my first response was, “Oh no, not me. Send someone else!”
I wrestled with God, and told Him I would just do two months in Aomori, but this trip awakened a passion for mission instead. Soon after, God led me out of my consulting job and into Bible college.
Now, God has opened the door for me to serve among Japanese people in Sydney. My ministry focus is people from Japan who live, study or work in Sydney for a short time, who later return to Japan, including international students and working holiday makers.
When Japanese people live abroad, they are often open to new ways of doing life and experiences, including church. We hope that these Japanese “returnees” may encounter and be transformed by Christ—then bring the gospel back to their communities in Japan.
Pray for Alvina and Japanese returnees
- For Japanese returnees globally to be welcomed by Christians, have opportunities to hear the gospel, and declare Jesus as Lord.
- For Japanese returnees to grow in their faith and desire to share the gospel, whilst abroad and upon their return to Japan.
- For Alvina’s words and actions to reflect the love of Christ as she engages with Japanese returnees.
