EmilyAnn (EA) Kellogg is a passionate missionary living in Osaka, Japan. As we sat down to chat, I was struck by her stories of cultural immersion, language learning, and community building. From the moment she arrived in Japan, EmilyAnn has been on a journey of faith, seeking to understand and serve the people around her.

In this episode, we dive into her life on the mission field. EmilyAnn shares her vision for planting a Japanese-led church, and how prayer is essential to her daily ministry. We also explore the challenges she's faced as a minority in Japan, and how she's found joy in learning the language and culture.

I hope you'll join us as we hear from EA EmilyAnn about the power of community support, the importance of relationships, and the hope for revival in the Japanese church community.
