Happy Easter!

Happy Easter from Japan!  He is risen!

We just came home from the Easter service and fellowship lunch. The church was full and we had to keep bringing more chairs.  It was great to have so many guests.  Our hearts are full because we have been praying for this Easter service for a long time.  Ever since our pastor asked Michael to preach on Easter Sunday, we have been praying that God would bless this service and the people who come.  He answered our prayers in an amazing way!

Many of the guests stayed for lunch and we were able to meet and talk to them.  They encouraged us so much!  Just hearing they felt loved and the message really spoke to them meant the world to us.  It’s not always easy to minister in Japan and we get discouraged sometimes.  We know it’s not our ministry but His and the only thing we can do is to keep planting the seeds.  Today felt like one of those days that God is assuring He is pleased with our journey and He has great plans for Japanese people.

We rejoice the resurrection of Jesus and pray you have a blessed Easter!
