As we wait for God to take us back to Sendai in His timing, we have been blessed with many opportunities to share about the needs of Japan with Korean people and to ask them to pray for Japan. We have been touched by kindness and powerful prayers of Korean people.
The first sharing opportunity was at Eunpyeong First Church where we stayed for two weeks. There were about 300 people in the service and many of them stayed to talk to us after the service.
This is Pastor Sim. Even though he has a busy schedule, he took time to get to know us and to take us to places. We were blessed by his hospitality.
This was at Far East Broadcasting Company. This is a Christian radio station that Dr. Billy Kim. We spoke at their chapel service. After we shared, they took time to pray for Japan. They are already helping those in need with financial and prayer support.
With such wonderful staff. We will always treasure their love and friendships.
We went to church with April (we are staying with her right now and we are SO thankful for her kindness), and it is a huge church called Onnuri Church in Yangjae.
They had a special prayer time for Japan. What a blessing it is to know that so many people are praying for the salvation of Japanese people.
We spoke in the Young Adult Sunday School class. They sang and prayed for us which brought tears to our eyes.
Another opportunity at Max’s church. Max is our friend from DBU and his dad is a pastor of Disciple Baptist Church in Suwon. We were the main speakers of the service and Max translated our message.
After the service, we had dinner with the young adult group. They have been praying for Japan for such a long time. They are planning to take a mission trip to Sendai this year. They asked us to join the upcoming retreat and we are looking forward to building relationships with them.
We continue to receive invitations to share about Japan at schools and churches. We praise God for using us in so many ways here in South Korea. He is good ALL the time! Thank you for your prayers!
Wow, the story truly moves to tears but the Hope indeed burns more flames in us. Am so encouraged by what u are doing and the opportunity God is awarded you in such a times.
” Truly, truly, I say to you, you will weep and lament, but the world will rejoice. You will be sorrowful, but your sorrow will turn into joy. [21] When a woman is giving birth, she has sorrow because her hour has come, but when she has delivered the baby, she no longer remembers the anguish, for joy that a human being has been born into the world. [22] So also you have sorrow now, but I will see you again, and your hearts will rejoice, and no one will take your joy from you. [23] In that day you will ask nothing of me. Truly, truly, I say to you, whatever you ask of the Father in my name, he will give it to you. [24] Until now you have asked nothing in my name. Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be full. (John 16:20-24 ESV)
Would you be surprised to know that there is a very large Korean population here in Guatemala City? I have several Korean students. They have taught me their alphabet! I love working with them.
It’s amazing seeing the youth groups all around the world reaching out to Japan.
