Welcome to Our Blog

In 1996 - I started taking classes to become a doctor.  I had already graduated from USC, but felt called to do something more with my life.  Like many, I had a desire to help people.  Going into the medical field seemed like the obvious thing to do… But then something happened.  I met a doctor during a plane ride.  What he said changed the course of the next 15 years.  In many ways, it was that conversation that brought me to this very day: preparing for my first missions trip to Japan…

Welcome everyone!  Thanks for following the JEMS Creative Arts Missions Team blog.  Over the course the next few months we hope to share with you our stories.  Various team members and guest will take turns posting on this site.  Our hope is that our stories will keep you up to date, inspire you, and encourage you to reach out to those that don’t know Jesus. 

Of course, we love to hear from you. This trip is not just ten people, but it includes all of you that support us and desire to share how Jesus makes a difference in our lives.
