Good News in Japan
Melanie Brents, the IMB Tokyo Prayer Advocate, posted the following today:
Praise the Lord for God's mighty answers to prayer in the homeless ministry here in Tokyo! For just a glimpse at how the Lord is answering your prayers read this short note from one of our summer interns named Adam that he just sent out on Saturday, July 5th:
"I wanted to share with you some more good news that happened this morning after the homeless worship service in the park. Last week sometime, Chi-san the homeless man who became a Christian about 2 months ago shared with one of his friends about Jesus. His friend, Is-san wanted to believe and had some questions to ask the missionary I work with here, Mr. P. So they talked in the park after the service and Is-san trusted Jesus to save him. Amazing! Especially because this is now the second person who came to faith from being told about Jesus through another new Christian. It is joyful to see the Japanese sharing their faith with their fellow countrymen.
But it gets even better. While they were on the bench talking, another man, It-san, nearby overheard them and was watching. He is not homeless, but just happened to be sitting there. Talk about a divine appointment. Anyways, afterward he came over to Mr. P and told him he was watching and listening. then It-san asked Mr. P if he could tell him about Jesus. about half an hour later, It-san was a Christian too. Now we are scheduled to have 4 new believers baptized this Thursday morning. To summarize, God is amazing. Keep praying."
God is at work in Tokyo!! Please keep praying!
Even as I am preparng to send this I just received word that another person prayed with one of our volunteers today at a park to receive Jesus! Praise the Lord!
