Hello all!
Thank you for your prayers and support! I am truly blessed by them!
I feel like it has been a long time sense I posted on my blog and it has been!
Allot has actually happened. I'm not sure where to start actually! I'll do this short update for now if that's ok.
YWAM Tokyo has started life track!
Life track is where the staff is practicing and learning how to clearly tell others the things we know. (Not the best explanation) "What do you know, and what do you walk in?" Know God and know how to tell others about him. Knowing the word and walking in what it says. It's so amazing too because even before life track The Lord was already teaching and telling me that I need to be founded on the word and steadfast. That it would actually be a lamp to my feet and a light unto my path. So God was already stirring my spirit to get into the word and know it. It's been so fun actually! I am getting to know The Lord so much more and understand his bigness and goodness! And I am so excited for this life track training because I am in a safe place surrounded by people who love me and encourage me. It's such a wonderful opportunity to learn to speak his goodness to people! This last week we had to prepare a 15minute talk on the character and nature of God. (Simpler turns, his bigness and goodness) Each of us have to prepare something because we don't know who will be presenting each Wednesday. I didn't get chosen but I was prepared if I had been. (Haha)
Youske!!
Youske is a Japanese man who recently amazingly received Jesus!
Every Friday night we go into the city of Ikebukuro, Tokyo and worship The Lord in the west park. A bunch of nights ago. (Over a month. Not long after my last post) A man stopped to listen and watch. I saw him standing there for a long time until one of our people went over to him. I don't know all that was said to him, but Greg, the man who went over to him, prayed for his headache to leave and it did. Also, this man had not had a steady good job for about 2 years. But that very moment he received a call and got a job! He was so open to hear what he had just witnessed. It was so fun watching him from where I stood. He was unsure at first, but then he was smiling and laughing and listening and getting prayed for. This man has come every Friday night. About 2 or 3 weeks ago this man let Jesus into his heart. This is pieces of his testimony:
"I saw you all singing and thought it looked strange, so I came over to watch. I was about to leave when a bird pooped and it landed next to your guitar player. He laughed and you all laughed. There was something different in all of your eyes. I looked into everyone's eyes and they were almost shining like light. After that Greg came over to me and talked to me. Every night I come and I feel so much love from all of you and there's such a peace and my heart feels good. I decided to receive Jesus. I want to bring joy where I go." He teared up as he spoke and so did many of us as he shared. (Note: I don't remember word for word but I do remember this amount of what he said.) He is awesome! The real beginning of the fruit Jesus is planning! He brings such joy and hope every Friday night! I know that he is proof of the amazing miracle of Jesus! He was lost, but now he is found and he rejoices!
Some of our leaders and staff are discipling him too. Please pray for him as he begins this new amazing walk with the creator of the universe! The one who saw him and loved him just from the thought of him! The God who came down and payed for everything we owed! He saw Youske and knew that he would be with him in eternity.
We have moved!
What an amazing blessing it is too! I moved with 6 other girls to a house that's closer to stores and the train station! It's very big and close to the guys house and the apartments where other staff live. It has become our meeting house and where we gather for life track and prayer rooms. Thank you Lord for this blessing!
Thank you all for your support! I actually hope to post soon with pictures maybe!
I love you all and pray for you regularly! Thank you for being such a blessing!
