I was born and raised in Japan for 20 years and now live in the USA. My parents are currently missionaries there and have been for over 35 years. My mother now has Non Hodgkin's lymphoma. It has been financially impossible for me to go home. Once my wife I began to have children my dream of going home has become more and more unattainable. But, with my mom in her current condition, it is most important that we make this a trip now. Please help us take the long awaited "Journey Home!"

Latest Update

God is so very good! Those words are not enough to express our thanks! We have not only reached our goal but have exceeded it! Thank you! Now, Matt's mother has been hospitalized once again. Her lymphoma has returned and the stem cell transplant seems to not have been as successful as we have hoped! I cannot imagine the struggle that Debbie and Steve are facing. We love them dearly and are more than excited to take this trip and reunite with them once again, Lord willing. THIS is possible because for our Lord and His grace and those who have so willingly given towards this trip. We now ask for your prayers for comfort and strength for both Debbie and Steve, and safe travel for us.

Praise God! Matt's mother has returned home! We are so glad and thankful! God is truly faithful! Though she has returned home, she is still fragile and tires easily. We have 41 days left until we depart and are reunited again! We have only $450 left to raise towards our goal. From a goal of $3000 I'd say that is miraculous. How very wonderful and loving people have been to our family! So here's a big, huge, enormous "THANK YOU!!!" to those who gave and those who wanted to. May God bless your family with the desires of your heart! With so very much love, The Carrells

If you need it and I have it...it's yours! Christ has amazing people on this earth that serve Him; I can only hope that I will be one of them for His kingdom.
