My summer is well underway now!
Since my last entry I’ve been back home in North Carolina and had a great time with my family, friends and church, Cornerstone FWB, while preparing for Tokyo. I really enjoyed catching up with everyone, and you all have been so encouraging in the final months before my trip!
I’m now in St. Louis, Missouri visiting my dad before I leave for Tokyo. I’ve had some fun adventures here so far, like trying to learn how to ride a motorcycle (not very gracefully I might add). For the next week and a half here I’ll keep preparing for my trip by raising the last of my support and brushing up on my Japanese.
This summer has been great so far and I know it will only get better when I go to Tokyo. When I found out I was accepted to go on to Japan, all of my friends who had been on summer projects before told me about how much they were challenged during the support raising process as well as their trips. Between first hearing that I was going in February and the final two weeks before Tokyo, I’ve come to understand and experience it for myself. I’ve had to trust in God in ways I never have before, knowing that if it His will that I go on this trip that He will provide the funds through all of you who feel called to give. And so far He has provided in amazing ways! When I first sent out my letters I was really unsure and felt limited by the number of people I sent word out to. But He is still providing: I now have about $3,700 raised with $2,300 left to go. It has been really challenging trusting at times, but I know the rest will be provided, and I request that you keep sharing with others who may support me through prayers and/or donations!
I would love for all of you reading this to join my team in praying for Tokyo and I ask that you prayerfully consider donating any amount of money toward my trip! We each still have much to raise, and every bit counts. If you would like to support me through donations, you can do so by mailing a check before I go to CA for briefing on June 21st made out to “Campus Crusade For Christ” to:

If it would be more convenient for you to give online, then you can go to give.ccci.org and type in my name, Elizabeth Moser, in the red “Give A Gift” search box. You can also search by using my staff#: 5600892 (all gifts are tax-deductible).
If you do decide to give online, I request that you send me a quick message to enmoser@email.unc.edu letting me know you have contributed, along with your mailing address.
It is common to exchange gifts in Japan, so in anticipation for all of the students I’ll be meeting I’ve started making bracelets and key chains to give to the friends we will be making while we’re there. I would love to send you one as well for being part of my support team! So please send me an email letting me know you have contributed along with your mailing address and preference of a keychain or bracelet :)
Thank you so much again for your prayers and support!
Love in Christ,
Elizabeth Moser
