"Then he said to his disciples, "The harvest is plentiful but the laborers are few; therefore pray earnestly to the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest." Matthew 9:37-38

Hello & Talofa Family and Friends!

It is Mine-Vaoita and Perise and we are both 20-year-old students at the University of Texas. This summer we have the golden opportunity of partnering with our campus ministry, Longhorns For Christ, and the mission organization, “Let’s Start Talking (LST).” 

What is LST?

LST is a non-profit missions organization that has been recruiting, training, and sending workers around the world for over 40 years. Each year thousands of people desiring to improve their English register to read stories from the Gospel according to Luke, which often lead to life-changing conversations. This year we get to be two of those workers! We will be serving the communities in Kasama, Japan. 

We humbly ask that you partner with us in this season of preparation.

As we prepare for this life-changing experience, we are reacjhing out to family, friends, and supporters like you to ask for your prayers and financial support. The total cost of our trip is $8,800 which covers travel, meals, as well as the necessary resources for the work we will be doing. 

It would be greatly appreciated if we were to receive your support, whether it be through prayer or financial support. Your contribution - no matter the amount - will play a crucial role in enabling us to participate and more importantly, help spread hope and love to this who need it most. 

Thank you very much. Fa’afetai tele lava. ありがとうございます

Let's Start Talking equips Christians to create life-changing conversations across the street and around the world. Taking advantage of the global desire for English as well as the innate desire we all share for connection and community, LST Workers offer English-conversation practice in a comfortable, non-confrontational setting.  Scripture forms the basis of each conversation, and friendships surface naturally.  

To participate in a mission project this year I have committed to raise funds for LST. This money is used to fund the recruiting, development, and support of all LST team members, as well as travel and project costs. Please give generously today and be a part of my team! And please pray for me and for my teammates that everything we do will bring glory to God.
