Here's what Summer Team 2000 participants are saying about their experience:

"Asian Access' Summer Teams in Japan is an excellent opportunity to bless the church in Japan, draw the Japanese people to the one true God, and in the process you will also be blessed more than you can ever imagine."

"By God allowing me to participate in Asian Access' Summer Teams these past two years, I have grown tremendously spiritually and personally. God has grown a heart for the lost within me. God has challenged me to give more of myself to Him. He has blessed me by ministering and sharing the gospel to the lost. Asian Access' Summer Teams has been a life changing experience for me."

"LIFE Ministries exists to start and support churches in Japan, a nation where less than one percent of the population follows Jesus Christ. Our summer team had a tremendous impact in Nagoya, a city of over two million. God used us in powerful ways to encourage believers, as well as reach out to the lost. All through a wonderful local church. We spent a month that changed us forever and touch many lives with the love of Christ."

"This was a life changing experience. As much as you learn about Japan and its people, you will learn about yourself."

"Summer Teams in Japan gives you the opportunity to minister to others about Christ. More that, it also changes your life forever. After a summer in Japan, my heart has been touched by so many. God is awesome and at work in Japan."

"You are by no means alone in Japan. LIFE Ministries is always reachable to help with problems big or small. They really care about the quality of time in Japan and the success of your ministry."

"The Church we worked with in Nagoya displayed amazing love and hospitality. Teaching English was a wonderful way to develop relationships and build trust with the Japanese. This experience has deeply changed me and will no doubt influenced my Christian walk for the rest of my life."

"To be told by my Japanese host church members that I was an answer to their prayers is so humbling. I know God has raised me up for such a time as this."

"Nagoya Glorious Chapel is a vibrant Church with a vision for Evangelism that blew apart my stereotype of Japanese Churches. I was part of a team that worked together beautifully. We were used according to our gifts. A wonderful experience with a Church that blessed me more that I blessed them."

"LIFE Ministries is an excellent ministry that equips people for cross-cultural ministry, and growth in their relationship with Jesus. LIFE Ministries takes care of the whole ministry... AMAZING!"

"God really used this mission trip to open my eyes to the huge spiritual battle of prayer that is needed for Japan. It wasn't a trip which I worked with the physically hungry, but with the spiritual hunger that is deep within the soul. It was great to be able to share with the Japanese the filler of that hunger."

"Japan is a lot more than public showers, and toilet slippers. It is about investing in the lives of people. The reward is greater than anything else."
