Kellie Nicholas is a cross-cultural missionary to Japan. She has spent 4 terms in Japan. She has been sent and supported by CMS (Church Missionary Society). She studied at Moore Theological College.

As we heard her story we spoke about:

  • How learning Japanese in year 10 (somewhat poorly) led her down an unexpected path
  • What it was like doing a university exchange to Japan during her university degree
  • Why she didn’t think she was initially suitable for mission
  • Challenges of cross-cultural overseas mission
  • The helpfulness of missionary agencies
  • Why it's helpful sometimes to not have an exact country in mind when thinking about overseas mission

Podcast Timings:

Kellie’s story: (1:15-31:25)

Paddy and Aaron reflections: (31:32-44:36)

Which missionary agency should I choose? Are missionary agencies even important? (31:32 - 36:20)

Prayer & overseas mission (36:20 - 38:50)

Can Introverts do ministry? How can we utilize the wisdom of older missionaries? (38:50-44:36)
