I’m entirely serious about moving to Japan after graduation. I want to be able to get familiar with some of the areas, as well as the people. I’m also very spiritual (Christian, I guess), and so a mission trip to Japan sounds like the best thing for me.

I’d also be fine with a long term (a few years), if there would be a way to be enrolled in a high school (I’m an upcoming junior now).

Do any of you know of free/low rate or scholarship-available mission trips to Japan? I would be able to do bible studies, work with kids&teens, I will hopefully have an okay knowledge of the language (so maybe a little kid english teacher?) and can cook, do work, etc.
Oh, the main financial issue would be the plane costs :\

No free trips for short-term volunteering, sorry.
