Hope is 25 and is seriously feeling led to some form of international missions and has completed a number of short-term mission trips. Trueman is 22 and just graduated from Asbury University. He also has a heart for people and is considering next steps for his future including ministry options. Walker our youngest is 15 and homeschooled.

Ministry Description / Vision
Izumi Community Church exists to share the good news with the roughly 2,000+ Japanese people and other internationals, and Americans connected to them which God has sovereignly brought to the area of greater Lexington, Kentucky. To see them come to faith and be built up and discipled so that they then can put down root and bear fruit back in Japan, or wherever the Lord may lead them.
Ministry & Prayer Updates
Pray for our small team, and as we prepare for Easter services and other outreach activities in March. Pray for those who came to our church for the first time last Sunday to get plugged in with us in someway, so that we can continue to go deeper with them unto salvation. Pray for wisdom as we seek to have more things and people in place to help with our children’s ministry. Pray for our upcoming trip to Japan to follow up people who have returned to Japan in the past year. Pray for Nodoka, Lilly, Takako and Yulan for their continued walk with the Lord since becoming Christians last year, also for Mei from China who just joined the family of Christ.
