What a great day!!! God has really just shown up and showed off. I just love it. Here's what happened today: First we went and met with our team at the station. Then we split off to do distribution (put Gospel of Johns into every mailbox we could find). We got finished with that and then went to lunch together and then had a quiet time and a devotional time all together to prepare all of us for 5me. Then we went back towards the station and has some Pr walking for 5me and the people that we would come into contact with. Then we got started with 5me. And when we got there we noticed there was a pimp guy trying to hand out tissues to only attractive young japanese girls. The tissues were meant for advertising their business, they want attractive girls to come work for them in their business which is very sketchy. I dont know if you know but Japan has a ton of cults and one of them is pimps. And their main goal is to get more pimps to join them, and they sure do. It's really sad to see that because it seems like some of them feel like it's the only thing they can do. Like they're trapped and they have nowhere to go but prostitution. Anyways, we were watching the guy and he was there the whole time we were. And one of the interns got to go share with him why we were here and he gave him a manga messiah and a Gospel of John and a hope tract. And from then on he was very curious about us and he always watched us. As we were gettin ready to leave, we looked over and noticed that he was reading the manga! That was so exciting to see how curious he was!! So the intern went back over and gave him his email address and got the guys email in return. (his name is D) And he left and as he was leaving he stopped at a member of the IWC team doing 5 minute english and D asked the team member "so you christian too?" and he was like "yes I am!" and he tried to give D another gospel of john but D told him that we had already given him stuff and he was sooo excited!! You could just tell that God was so working in his heart and moving inside of him. So cool.
Here's another story. This is so cool. Usually I always carry around with me like 4 mangas so that when we do 5me I can hand them out to kids or teenagers. But this morning I just didn't think about it and I didn't grab any. So we were at 5me and I looked over and two little boys were standing right by the telephones in the station. And I was just like dang it I don't have any mangas! And I felt like I needed to give them one. So I looked down adn I noticed that the girl beside me had a manga!! So I showed her the two little boys and told her that she should go over and give it to em, so she did and they were sooo excited. The problem was, though, that there was two little boys and only one manga. I looked back over and noticed that they were fighting over who would keep it. And that broke my heart! So we started asking around to see if any of the other team members brought any mangas but no one had, finally we found one person who did. Thank God. And as I was walking over to them to give em another manga, they were playing rock, paper, scissors to see who could keep it!! So we gave em another one and they were super excited and they immediately threw it open and started reading it. And taht was just so cool to see how God worked in that situation. Please pray for D and for the two little boys! That they will be soo curious in what we gave them and they will learn from God. God is really working in their lives and that is very obvious.
Love you!
