The outreach will be a cooperative between those of us coming as missionaries and the Japanese Union Conference.  Tokyo is the world’s most populated city with 37 million people. Our missionary group will be giving out tracts throughout the city and connecting them with ministries of the church. \nQ: How do I sign up?\nA: First\, fill in your info in the form below as well as info for two references. References are people that we will contact to learn a little more about you prior to acceptance on the mission trip.  After you have submitted your info in the forms\, we will contact you regarding your acceptance.  Once accepted\, we’ll be in contact with you regarding any further details such as booking tickets\, and payments. (For mission trip costs\, see question below) Also\, after you have been accepted\, we will connect you with a group chat on WhatsApp. IT IS CRITICAL that you join this chat as it will be the primary method of our communication and updates. \nQ: What is the cost for this mission trip?\nA: Following is an estimated breakdown of the costs for this mission trip. More exact pricing will be communicated as we get closer: \n\n Flight to get to Tokyo – Estimate $1\,400-$2\,800.\n2. Entry Visa into Japan from the U.S. – $0\n3.  Food – Estimate $150\n4. Lodging – $0\n5. Transportation while there (Rental vehicles and trains) – Estimate $150\n6. ARM Short-Term Travel Insurance – $33\n7. GLOW Bag Rental – Free\n8.

Every day a portion of the team will be giving tracts to people in crowded areas with large amounts of foot traffic. The majority of the team will be placing literature in people’s homes through the mailboxes that are built into their front doors. There will also be a third option that will be discussed before or during the mission trip. There is no need to speak Japanese. The tracts will do the speaking for you. We will teach everyone a few simple phrases that will enable you to get by. \nQ: Will we go two by two?\nA: Yes.  We will be going out in large teams but be paired in twos not far from each other. Each team will be given a segment of territory which will have streets full of pedestrians\, apartments with mailboxes\, and plenty of other opportunities to give out GLOW. \nQ: Will we be giving literature directly to people?\nA: Yes. Everyone will get a chance to give out tracts on crowded downtown Tokyo streets.  Each participant must be willing and able to give literature directly to people. \nQ: What will the temperatures be like there?\nA: Average high of 56 degrees Fahrenheit to 41 low. \nQ: What will the Covid safety protocols be on the trip?\nA: We will be asking all missionaries to follow any Covid safety guidelines that are outlined by the local Japanese government at the time. Currently\, U.S. citizens can enter Japan without being vaccinated against Covid and without testing. Also\, masks are not required in public. However\, please keep in mind that many Japanese citizens will likely be wearing masks due to personal choice. Also\, please regularly check vaccination rules for entry as they are liable to change. \nQ: Where will we stay? What will the accommodations be like?\nA: The Japanese Union has arranged for us to stay at one of their Union office facilities. Details regarding the location will come soon. Each missionary will need to bring their own bedding. We will have shower facilities at the Union office that are limited and everyone will be put on a schedule to take showers.  There is also an option for taking showers at a public facility that is walking distance from the Union office for those that do not want to have time restrictions for showers and have to deal with the schedule.  However\, those facilities cost $3/shower usage and you must be ok with bathing with others close by. Genders are separated. For those who have already registered and are added to the group chat\, updates will be regularly given there.   \nAt this point\, there are only accommodations for males and females to sleep separately.  We do not have housing options at the Union office for married couples. If you would like to stay in a room as a married couple\, we ask that you look into nearby hotel accommodations and public transit to get to the Union facilities.  Rental vehicle parking availability at the Union office is extremely limited.  \nThe Japanese Union is also allowing missionaires to stay one or two extra days at the Union office if they would like to after the mission trip is done.  This is an option for those that would like to spend some extra personal time in Japan without having to pay for accommodations.  \nQ: How will meals work?\nA: We will be eating at the facilities where we will be housed with the exception of lunch. We will provide three plant-based meals a day.  Lunch will be a sack meal in the\nfield. For those who are strict vegan\, we will be supplying some extra items to accommodate. Please let us know in advance if you have any special dietary requirements. We might not be able to accommodate various requests but will make a reasonable attempt to do so. \nQ: Will we do anything illegal\, or will people get upset at us?\nA: We will not be engaging in illegal activity.  \nQ: How do we get to the facilities?\nA: We ask missionaries to arrive at the facilities LATEST by 6pm local time on Friday the 22nd of March 2024 for our orientation meeting. Once you have booked your ticket\, please send the flight information to glow@cccsda.org. We will then meet you at the airport when you land and take you to the facilities. We are recommending that you fly into Narita International Airport. However\, please DO NOT book tickets without communicating with us first so we can make sure that your insurance is purchased\, background check has cleared\, and payment is made for the miscellaneous expenses. You are welcome to arrive at the facilities on Thursday to help overcome jet lag.  Food will not be provided though until Friday evening. \nQ: What tracts will we be using? What titles?\nA: We are currently working with the General Conference Publishing Department and the Japanese Union to determine the topics for the tracts. They will most likely be on issues related to health\, depression\, suicide\, and state of the dead. Most Japanese are not Christian. \nQ: What is the daily schedule?\nA: Below you’ll find the tentative daily schedule (Sabbath schedule differs): \nBefore 6:30 a.m. Morning Devotions\, Showers\, Personal Time\n6:30 – 7:30 a.m. Breakfast at the cafeteria\n7:50 – 9:20 a.m. Worship and Training\n9:20 – 9:30 a.m. Prepare for the field\n9:30 – 12:30 p.m. Missionary Work\n12:30-1:00 p.m. Lunch\n1:00 – 5:00 p.m. Missionary Work\n6:00 – 6:30 p.m. Personal Time/Prep GLOW for Next Day\n6:30 – 7:30 p.m. Dinner\n7:30 – 8:30 p.m. Testimonies\n8:30 – 10:00 p.m. Free/Fun time\n10:00 p.m. Quiet \nQ: Who do I contact if I have more questions?\nA: GLOW’s secretary at glow@cccsda.org or 559-347-3150. \n*Note:  This will be an intense front-line distribution mission trip.

This trip is FREE for everyone\, all you need to bring is a willing heart! \n\nQ: Is there an age requirement? \nA: Yes. You must be at least 16 years old\, unless you are accompanied by a legal guardian. \n\nQ: Who will be leading this mission trip? \nA: Leaders will be seasoned literature ministry leaders from Southeastern California Conference and the Southern California Conference. \n\nQ: What kind of outreach will we be doing? \nA: The goal of this mission trip is to get 100k pieces of literature in LA/SB County.

There will be two people per street—one on each side. When we place missionaries in parking lots and other public venues\, they will be in groups of 4. \n\nQ: Will we be giving literature directly to people? \nA: Yes.

Of course\, you are always welcome to bring your own lunch from home as well. \n\nQ: What tracts will we be using?

However\, when we work in Hispanic communities\, we will have teams that will be using Spanish GLOW tracts. \nQ: Who do I contact if I have more questions? \nA: Southeastern California Conference GLOW Director\, Andrew Chang at seccglow@gmail.com or 909-583-7132 \n  \n*Note:  This will be an intense front-line distribution mission trip.
