Did you notice our Perks? The Fundrazr template only allows us to start our "perks" at a specific minimum amount. However, the first perk, a card printed with one of Alice's original paintings and a handwritten note of thanks on the inside, will be sent to all of our supporters regardless of the amount given. Pease select another groovy perk corresponding to the various amounts as well.

God is so good to us. This first year of marriage has been an exciting journey following the Father together and seeing Him meet all our needs. Today, April 28th is our 7 month anniversary! God has given us a lovely little flat right on the border between Hong Kong and Mainland China where we are building a life together. We even have a spare bedroom for guests, which is not to be taken for granted here in space-crunched Hong Kong. (If you are passing through Hong Kong and need a place to crash, hit us up. ;-D) We are truly thankful for all our friends around the world and all the support, love and prayer that has been sent our way. Hugs, prayers and blessings back to all of you!
Back To School! This has been a glorious season of exploring life together as a married couple. We are deepening in what it means to enjoy God’s love and shed that love abroad with our lives, callings, giftings and hearts intertwined as one. To that end, we want to follow as God leads us to attend a 3 month ministry school together called Cana New Wine Seminary from the 2nd of June to the 9th of August, 2015 in Portland, Oregon, USA. We want to go deeper and higher in our understanding of supernatural ministry, the finished work of the cross and the mind-blowing life and love of the Father, Son and Spirit. The summer includes intensive teaching by world class theologians and proven ministers. We will also be hitting the streets of Portland with the message to practice what has been preached. God is madly in love with this crazy world and He inspires, equips and gifts His children to embrace and invite others into that love. That's what this summer will be all about. You can learn more about the summer seminary course here: http://www.cana.co/Course_Curriculum.html
Some friends have expressed a wish to help with the financial cost of pursuing our dream. After praying about it, we want to share our dream with our wider network. We know that God loves to fund the causes of His Kingdom through the generosity of His people, and in turn rain down a blessing on generous givers.
The cost for the summer is $68,300HKD (or $8,838USD). The cost breakdown is as follows:
- Travel costs to Portland for two: $14,500HKD
- Tution for two and books: $40,300HKD
- Housing in Portand for the summer: $13,500HKD
(All costs are given in Hong Kong Dollars. $1 USDollar equals $7.75 HKDollars. Our Fundrazr campaign is in HKDollars. USA friends can use a conversion tool like this one to figure the exact amounts they might wish to donate: http://www.xe.com/currencyconverter/ )
Can you help us fund our dream? Alice and Mike are and plan to continue doing everything they can to be responsible in funding this dream though savings, the proceeds of Mike's tutorial business and Alice's painting workshops, as well as Mike working side jobs while in the USA. However, as God calls us to grow and inititates us into the ways of His Kingdom, we are often called to "step out on the water" by faith and see God meet our need as we reach out past what our natural human resources alone would permit. This is a faith venture and we are excited knowing that Father delights to provide. God is the giver of dreams and the fulfiller of visions. Thank you Father for your overwhelming love!
Would you please help in the following three ways:
- Pray and believe with us in God's abundant provision and blessing.
- As Holy Spirit leads you, please click the orange "Contribute" button on our campaign page to help us cover our costs for the summer. We know that as you sow in generosity, God will abundantly rain provision for you to harvest as well.
- Please share our campaign with everyone in your network: Facebook, email, Twitter, Instagram, etc.
Grace, joy and blessing to all you beautiful people out there we have come to know and love over the years! Thanks for being a part of our lives. Our expectancy is not only for all that God will do in our lives this summer in Portland, but as we return to Hong Kong in August we feel He will cause the seeds sown to multiply into a Kingdom harvest for years to come. Thanks for being a part of this journey with us.
So Much Love!
Alice Wong Kitajima and Mike Kitaijma
