Osaka Day 2

Many things happened today but to share one highlight: 1 person accepted Christ today and 1 person asked for prayer! 

This morning I miraculously woke up at 7am without any alarm, and I actually felt quite well rested. So I spent some time to prepare my heart for the day, especially for the message sharing at night. This line from For The One spoke to me deeply.

“From the famous to the homeless and in between”

Fast forward to the Homeless Ministry event, when I shared the Christmas message, I chose to include my struggles with mental health and suicidal thoughts because I hope that I am just as broken as them. And as I share, I really just felt that God sees them as His children. God loves them the same way He loves me.

After that Ps Kathy called for response. One guy wanted to receive Christ so we went over to pray for him, while another guy also asked for prayer about some situations in his life.

But through that I feel…. limited. Yes ofc I thank God for the salvation and the open heart, but I wish I could do more. If only I could sit down and talk to them, share something that’s closer to their culture and lifestyle, minister to them in a more personal way… I just wish I could so more to love them.

But I’m also reminded to not undermine these seeds that are sown, and ofc our team is not the first to sow them. The current senior pastor of this church was actually homeless too and he was found by a missionary, and eventually took over this church.

So whatever seed that is sown, I just pray that God will continue to water them in His own way and timing, and may the fruits multiply.
