Photo Contest 2022: Landscape
SEND has missionaries all over the world from the frigid north of Alaska, Canada, and Russia, to the warmer coasts of Thailand. Missionaries reach people in urban settings like Tokyo and in rural areas of Southeast Asia. Below you will find two landscapes that are in stark contrast and our missionaries are reaching the unreached in both settings!
You will also find a link to the profiles of the missionaries who captured the moments so that you can learn more about them and their ministry.
First Place: Tokyo from Sky Tree

I decided to go into Tokyo and simply do a tourist event. I went to the tallest building in Tokyo at 988 feet (301 meters). I took this picture from the Tokyo Sky Tree. I paid about 2,100 yen ($15) to go up. I spent about an hour up there as I enjoyed the panoramic view from up there.

Second Place: Community Gardens

During the pandemic, access to food became a critical concern in the communities in SE Asia where Team Hope lives. Neighborhoods were locked down and people were unable to travel between villages and communities. Team Hope responded at first with food distribution then later provided resources and training for people to grow their own food in their backyards. Food security is a daily concern for many and so these many gardens, modeled from the Team Hope farm, provide nutritious food for the family within reach.
