Hello everyone, we just wanted to give
you a little bit of an update on our
ministry and what God is doing in Japan.
Thank you for all those who support us
and who allow the gospel to go forward
and help us to fulfill the Great Commission.
It's a beautiful day here in
Japan, the cherry blossoms are starting
to come out and we just wanted to say to
you guys – thank you so much for what you
do for the people of Japan – a country
where really less than 1%
Even less than half of 1% of
people believe in Jesus. And so thank you
for helping us to do what Jesus said, "To
go into all the world and to preach the
gospel to all people." That's really our
mission and what we're trying to do here
in Japan. There's a couple of ways that
we tell people about Jesus.
We teach English classes every week, couple times a week, and also invite people to come to our house
Often, many times, just to share love with them and maybe share some food
With them and just tell
them a little bit about the love of Jesus
And every Sunday we serve
at East Osaka Gospel Church, a church
originally started by John and Ruth Bell
in Japan, so it's an important church to
us, and we're trying to help the pastor
there, who's 85 years old and they
say in Japan that there's more pastors
over 80 then there are under 30
So there's a huge need for young Christians and for young leaders to help
And that's what we're trying to do is just trying to help the church and to help them go
forward and to let the Gospel be preached
every week, wherever we go, so pray for us
as we teach English, as we love on people,
as we welcome people into our lives and
into our neighborhood and give out Gifts
of Hope and as we love people that more
people will be able to hear about Jesus
for the first time. And we're so thankful for
all you guys do to help us with monthly
support and gas and everything that you do
to help us we really appreciate it.
And as we would say in Japan, "Sayonara!"
hope to see you guys soon
