It is so great seeing the Japanese people every day. My heart beats for these people. It's really Gods heart for them given to me. But I will never love these people like He loves them. Sense being here and hearing some people's visions and hearts for Japan I'm always brought back to my time in China and how The Lord gave me the vision of revival in this country. I don't know if ill have a part in it, but I know I will see it. If even a taste. Friday night was amazing for me and I'm sure most all of us. I really want to share about this all because God is doing something so fun! My friend Rosa shared with me before we came back here that God had given her a vision of dancing with Japanese people, not professionally, but purely for fun and joy. God told her it will be a way to break the spirit of death and spread his joy to the people. She was so excited and that made me excited too! Once the two of us landed in Tokyo, our friend Chelsea picked us up and we headed back to the house. (About a 2 hour trip) on the way, she began sharing some stuff that God was beginning to show people, and the biggest things were visions and desires to dance. Just dance with joy. Well, Rosa and I were shocked and laughed because God is awesome. Rosa had not shared her vision with anyone in YWAM yet! So once we got with the group we started hearing people's visions for dance, and how they feel God is pointing to it. Friday night was my first outreach back in Japan. All of the staff go to a city in Tokyo called Ikebukuro and we go to this one place and play music, sing and bring the holy spirt into the city by worship. We had two teams who were doing outreach in Japan and came to join us. One from YWAM Brisbane Australia and one from Bethel church. Crazy enough, the group from Australia are a dance team! (Haha!) two people from the Bethel group joined in on playing musical instruments so that was awesome too! People in our group were praying, worshiping, singing, talking to people and
a group were talking with a a group of buddhists who had come up to them. I got to meet two young girls who had walked by, but then came back because they were so curious. 2 of our staff and one of the Brisbane people shared their testimony with them. The continually said "Wow God is so cool!"
One of our staff (who speaks Japanese) prayed for them and shared what God was telling her to tell them. Once she finished they couldn't hold back their tears. They were crying and laughing and kept saying they were so glad they stopped. In the middle of sharing with these two girls, I looked up at the group and all of them had broken into dance and a group of Japanese had joined them! It put a fire into my heart as I saw this super small glimpse of one of Gods visions for these people! Joy through dance! It was so much fun and all I could think was "God! you're so amazing!"
The two Japanese girls who I got to talk to went with us afterwords to eat a snack at TGI's. It was lots of fun and I got to really spend some time with them! So sweet and so kind! (I didn't speak much Japanese and they didn't speak much English but we slowly learned and communicated with each other.) what a wonderful night! What a wonderful God!
The Lord is also continuing to teach me to trust him. Trust him with finances and understanding why I'm here. He continues to tell me to trust him. Love him and trust him. I have been here such a short time already but God has shown himself so much. It's awesome!
Thank you all for your prayers! I know this seems to be a short post, but it is my first haha. I hope to keep you informed of what God is doing here! Thanks again!
