Discipleship
By jpnnana | June 3, 2006
May has been an exciting month; from the very first week with discipleship in Niigata and opportunities to present the gospel to Mr. Ho and others. Then up to Hokkaido, where Lana had an opportunity to disciple Mrs. H. T. and another of our personnel. The very next Tuesday H.T led Mrs. KI to the Lord. Mrs .KI was baptized the following Sunday. Pray for this new fledgling church to grow and become many churches. Ask God to give H.T. boldness, discernment and wisdom in discipling this new babe in Christ.
We also traveled to Izumo on the Japan Sea to meet with two couples. We were able to talk with them about witnessing and discipleship. The Tuesday after we left, a young medical student, Hana, was saved. Pray for her to grow and to have a strong desire to read the Word. Medical students are very busy, but there are two medical doctors who are members of the church there. Three laymen are leading the work. Pray for them to be discerning, loving, and bold for the Lord.
Kei who has a worship at her cram school in Saitama decided to follow the Lord in baptism. She is sharing Christ with her friends. She watched the Passion with Yo who is now open to the Gospel. Pray for Yo, for Kei’s mother and sister, and Mr. Su to come to Christ.
Dr. O who is not a Christian has given permission for his son, Ta, to be baptized. He will be baptized the first Sunday in June. The first Friday in June, two young boys, Ka and Ha, who are brothers, were saved. Pray for these three elementary aged boys as they follow the Lord in baptism.
Please pray for the leaders of the churches in Togane to be sensitive to the Holy Spirit and to be obedient to Him, to depend on His word and not look at customs or traditions, as they lead the church and seek to reach others. Join the leaders as they pray together for power, for God to perform miracles among the Japanese so they will know that He is the One and Only Living God.
Claiming His Promises for His Glory,
Tak and Lana Oue
