This is a brief intro to SRM and my motivations behind the ministry.

Here is a short summary of the video:

I was saved in college at a chapel service (If you're at a Christian college, go to Chapel! You never know what will happen!)
I initially sought the role of pastor a couple of years after being saved.
However, The Lord turned my eyes to the Mission Field.
The field in question? Japan.
Once I got home from college, I sought an internship with the Dallas Baptist Association.
Through a mutual contact with the head of the association, I ended up going on an independent mission trip to India.
That trip changed my life completely.
Japan was still on my radar, but so was India and other parts of Asia.
In India, I learned of many opportunities in Central Asia, Europe, and East Asia.
When I returned home, I started researching those regions and China's "One Belt, One Road Initiative" became a focal point.
Over time, The Lord stirred my heart for the Silk Road.
Now, its clear that is what I was called to do. So, I started SRM.
My plan is to travel from Nara, Japan to London, England overland (no air travel, if I can help it).
The goal of the trip is to get ministry contacts for future trips.
Please consider supporting the mission to the peoples of the Silk Road!

I am super excited but nervous about the idea of such a ministry. My future goals are, I hope, The Lord's goals as well. In the meantime, I will continue pushing forward and seeking Him daily. Please follow this blog for more SRM updates and stories from the Silk Road!
