Our pastors in Japan strive to shine the light of the gospel in this dark part of the world. They need our prayers and petitions. So much of the Japanese culture is designed to keep people from believing in Jesus. We need to pray that God would open the hearts and minds of the people so that our pastors engage with the gospel.

Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.

I was on the school’s bowling team. The bowling team was my life, and I could not forgive this person for taking that away from me. However, that incident made me realize for the first time that I had an ugliness in my heart…[READ MORE]
