Have You Heard the Good News?
I have people in California who aren't with the IMB sharing this information with me first, & finally got if off a blog from a co-worker who lives in Tokyo, but God is at work for the 2nd summer in a row there. "Hey Tokyo...circulate this good news around a little more loudly!"
This is a major cause of rejoicing & a major prayer request as the goal is not numbers to report but disciples following & loving Jesus. Please join the Tokyo team in prayer & pray we in the smaller, regional towns will see a similar harvest soon:
So far this summer I believe we have seen almost 20 Japanese become Christians through the interns and vols that are serving here. What has been the challenge in our last summers is follow up, getting these new friends of ours discipled! Please pray that we can do this, and that we can serve our new brothers and sisters by helping them along the first steps as a child of God.
