Jesus Is Always Ready!

This past Saturday we met with Naigisa, Yuki, Youka, and Yu. Recently, as the Lord has been leading, we have decided to emphasize prayer and sharing about Jesus. Granted, we have been sharing about Jesus the entire time we have been meeting with these kids, but it's time to take it to the next level. Therefore, we want to equip the children to be able to pray to the one true Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, and when they are ready, we want them to understand why and how they can receive Jesus Christ. Therefore, we began our time together with prayer and then had our English lesson which was a repeat from last week them on clothes, asking the question, "What are you wearing?" Afterward, Setsuko talked with them for a bit, sharing with them that Jesus loves us so much and that He is always ready to receive us. Yuki, in particular seemed to be listening intently. May God's will be done.

TAKESHIMA CHAPEL
This past Sunday Setsuko and I shared our testimonies at Takeshima church. It was a blessed time and I was very encouraged particularly when Mrs. Mori spoke with me afterward and prophesied that in the future I will be a missionary (and not an English teacher) in Japan. This prophetic statement is in line with what the Lord has been speaking to my heart. Therefore, I look forward to learning more about the particulars of His will. It is so encouraging when the Lord uses others to bless us with further knowledge of His plans for us.
