Missionary Partners
First Presbyterian Church of Johnson City currently helps to sponsor two missionary partners.
The Pousseur Family. Shalom House. Tokyo, Japan
The Pousseur Family lives and serves in Tokyo, Japan. They are helping to launch “Shalom House, an Arts and Community center. It will be a place where missionaries, Japanese pastors, and other gospel workers can come together to serve and grow alongside each other as they seek to use art and community to draw the Japanese community around them towards Christ and the wholeness his Kingdom offers.
In their words:
At its core, we see this as planting the seeds of a healthy church. We have also seen that “family” can be a powerful tool for “showing off” the goodness of God and his Kingdom! We love to invite people into our home so that they can get a taste of what Christ offers, and can see his words and promises lived out through us.
Kelsey Ueland. Jonathan House. St. Paul, Minnesota
Kelsey serves as support coordinator for Jonathan House. After a journey of her own, Kelsey has been brought to Jonathan House where she is responding to a call to love the displaced and demonstrate that “lost people matter to God.”
Johnathan House is a ministry that provides safe, stable shelter to individuals seeking asylum in the Twin Cities.
