In one of my previous reports, I wrote about a Bible seeker who was the former head of a free school. She lost her beloved husband to cancer a few years ago and was in a depressive state for a while.
Every time I met her, or sent her a text message on her cell phone, I would tell her about Jesus. Her husband was a Buddhist, so she still goes to the temple regularly for Buddhist services.
The other day, she sent me an email with these words. I was so moved by the love of Jesus that I want to sing the hymn "What a friend of Jesus" with the people who come to the temple!
To be honest, I thought it would be impossible, because first of all, the priest of the temple would be against it, and I was sure that some of the members of the temple congregation would not like Christian hymns. So I just replied that I prayed for the Lord's will to be done.
A few days later, she sent me a video of all the Buddhists singing the hymn in the temple on my cell phone with a message of joy in the Lord. When they finished singing the hymn, everyone applauded and the monk said that God's love for people is wonderful.
Amazingly he was praising God's love. Later I regretted that I underestimated the power of the Holy Spirit who worked there and did not expect a miracle.
Please pray that the gospel will be preached to Buddhist people and that the love of Jesus will spread throughout Japan. In the end times, I hope that God will move His hand with great power to spread the gospel everywhere.
Please pray for the salvation of Japan.
