Melinda Batalias: Today was a busy day in Ostroh, Ukraine. The day began at 9 with a breakfast that includes local favorite foods, such as: potato pancakes, wheat bread and butter, buckwheat, raw vegetables (tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers), cabbage salad, and scrambled eggs. After breakfast, about twelve student volunteers and Cru staff joined our team and listened as I shared my testimony of how Christ met me in my pain and walked me through my healing.

ELISE MACKEY: What a fantastic and exciting day! Today the SPC Tokyo 2025 Mission Team and the MTW team at Setagaya Grace Church finally welcomed 35 children, from 1st through 5th grades, to our ‘friendship’ themed Gospel Camp. After much anticipation, preparation, and prayer, putting up the decorations in the hall and seeing the kids start to arrive was almost surreal.

MARYN RAY: Today was our first day of Gospel English Camp at Setagaya Grace Church. Though we have had an incredible past couple days developing relationships with our missionary partners and learning more about Japanese culture, Gospel Camp is the real reason for our long journey here.
