Ev: missionaries are an encouragement to us

Thursday we took trains to Mikata to the TEAM center. We had the opportunity to meet Gerald May who had been serving in Japan 27 years. He shared with us the challenges of ministering in Japan and he took us around Tokyo. We went to the Municipal Building had a great view of Tokyo. On Friday we met with Richard Nakamura and his son, Branden, at the TEAM center. Richard shared about his ministry and vision. We had a chance to go to the Meiji Shrine where we prayed as a group for the Japanese people. It was here that I saw young special needs girl pray and clap to the gods. Her face was full of joy.
I was deeply saddened by the fact her prayers were going up to empty ears. As we headed back, Richard saw a woman sharing tracts about world peace and he spoke to her about Christ's love and passed out a 4 spiritual law to her. As he talked we prayed for God to open her eyes and heart to the truth. We were amazed at Richard's boldness and his heart for the Japanese people. He had given us the 4 spiritual laws in Japanese with English subtitles and told us to pray to see who God wants us to give them to. We will be worshipping Sunday morning at a local church and at 3 PM at Nokendai. Al and Karen will be sharing their testimonies so please pray for them. We are eager to see what God will do this week. Please continue to pray for all of us.

  1. I know it's the middle of the night there, so I'm praying that God is giving you all a Blessed nights rest that Sunday when you give your testimonies that you're refreshed and filled both physically and spiritually.
