Current missionary itineration for 2019 is happening. Arriving on different dates, they will be traveling to all districts and hoping to visit as many churches as possible. Though some people visit California for our sun and fun places, missionaries are here to work, share how our mission money is used, and also to make new friends along the way.
Here are current schedules:
- Jonathan McCurley was visiting the San Luis Obispo area and Hawaii until March 17 before returning to Japan.

He has no supporting churches in Cal-Pac, but our Secretaries of Global Ministries spent a day with him and learned his amazing story when he itinerated here 3 years ago. He would like to visit Korean Churches, but as he is fluent in English and speaks Russian, any church is recommended to extend an invitation.
