Haku arrived at University of California, Irvine (UCI) from Japan in early April for a 10-week ESL (English as a second language) course. In fact, it was Passion Week leading up to Easter, and Haku, whose Christian grandmother had taken him to church many times in his childhood, was eager to join the Good Friday and Easter church activities. Haku not only joined those services but continues to go to church with our teammates. He expressed much openness and joined many of our events, including the May 5-7 retreat at Yosemite. The only problem: he is just beginning to learn English, so communication in many areas has been difficult. God’s solution: Rachel.

Rachel is a transfer student from Oakland who was involved in our Bay Area Bridges ministry before coming to UCI two years ago. Rachel is an American student in the business school of UCI. She is a mature, committed, and excitable follower of Jesus, and she is fluent in Japanese! Rachel said, for some strange reason, God gave her a desire to join the trip for the first time. God is so good!


In the picture to the right, Haku and Rachel are seen using the Japanese function on the GodTools app. Trey is in the driver’s seat as we make our way through the Grapevine into LA, coaching Rachel as she shares the gospel in Japanese with Haku. Several of us--and a host of angels--were celebrating as Rachel led Haku in a Japanese prayer to begin his new relationship with God. A week later, one of our Japanese-American volunteers took Haku to a Japanese language church service. We hope to encourage and support Haku as best we can before he returns home in June.
