God is doing things in Japan

Japan is a place where missions is a little more exhausting than what you would think. Most of the time, you don't get the results you were praying and hoping for, and it can be very discouraging. We've felt like that a few times here, but we've seen God work in people's hearts in our English classes and in the church! I'll tell you of one....

I co-teach an "English Music Class" with Amber Solski on Saturdays from 3:30-4:45, and we have one student, Misa. She has lived in Kentucky for 3 years because her husband was transferred there because of his job. She's been back in Japan for about a year now and is taking a "North American Culture" class on Friday nights with Brianna and Darlene, and also taking the music class on Saturdays. The first day of the music class, we asked Misa what she wanted to get out of the class and if she had any specific songs she wanted to go over, and the only song she mentioned was Amazing Grace. That made us wonder why, but we had that ready for last week, the 2nd class time. So while I was explaining the song Amazing Grace to Misa last Saturday, I noticed that after the first verse, she was tearing up and basically crying. When I realized that she was crying, I prayed that God would continue working in her heart. She has asked Brianna and Darlene questions about their faith and God is doing something so please pray that He continues to use us to water that seed that was planted long ago.

God is doing things in Japan and we're excited to be a part of it. Please continue praying that His name and renown be the desire of our hearts and that we continue to be sensitive to His Spirit and be led by The Spirit. Blessings to you all!
