Movement below the Surface!

Praise the Lord for He is good and faithful!

Today, my team of five went on our first campus, Gaidai, the Foreign School.On this campus, there is only one Christian student that we know of. First we prayer walked around the school, asking for the Holy Spirit to rain down on the school and allow us to encounter students of peace who are open to hearing the Gospel. We then went into a small class room of a Christian Professor who teaches Filipino. This is the first time any Christians have been able to speak to a class at the school. The five of us introduced ourselves and told them that we were Christians from America who were sharing what we believed and learning about Japanese culture. This class was right before lunch, so we told them that we would save a table in the cafeteria and if any one would like to join us for lunch, we would love to have them.

We had no idea how many of them would actually show up. Praise Jesus, the ENTIRE CLASS showed up to talk to us!I personally talked to three girls whose names are Ayaka, Akane, and Mirei. We had great conversation on America and Japan and just getting to know each other well. Then Ayaka asked if I was a Christian and that opened up a huge door! None of them have any beliefs but I asked them if they were interested in learning more about Christians and what we believe. All three were really interested and said they wanted to know more! I then got out the "Knowing God Personally" booklets in Japanese and gave it to them. They all took it! They then had to go to class but they said they would read the booklet! We are meeting for lunch on Friday and discussing the Gospel and answering any questions they have.

Prayers that they are open to the Gospel and choose to receive Jesus. Prayers that we continue to build a relationship and get to know each other more during this month!

I am so excited to see the Holy Spirit move!

In Christ,
