Patrick's Mission Trip


Just got off the phone with my grandson, Patrick Wilkerson. The excitement mounts! He just ordered his airline ticket to go to Japan this summer. He is scheduled to spend about six weeks there, leaving home on the 26th of June and returning home on August 7th. He will spend most of this time working with and substituting for missionary Glenn Watts. During this time he will also have some contact with the Japan Youth Mission tour that will be there from the United States and South America. They will have opportunity to visit many places in Japan and the last five days will be spent participating in the Asian Youth Mission Conference being sponsored by Japan Presbytery. This conference will have older youth and young adult Cumberland Presbyterians participating from all over the World. (U.S., Colombia, Brazil, Korea, China, Japan, erc.)

What a great opportunity for Patrick. He will be a senior at Berhel next Fall and is then going on to Seminary to prepare for the full work of the Gospel ministry. At this time he is interested in youth ministry or being an overseas missionary. I hope any who read this will devote special prayer for him and this mission opportunity.
