Another year has come and gone! I hope you have all gotten off to a good start so far this year. Here is a brief summary of some things that happened this past December in Hiroshima.
At Hiroshima International University during our Monday night English conversation/occasional Bible study we met only a couple times and Junko was the only one to show up. She is a part time instructor who like studying English. She is talkative and we had some interesting conversations about various world view topics and even about how Christians ought to approach marriage. She was surprised to find out that Christians are to be "equally yoked". It seems that these types of conversations tend to leave an impression and perhaps correct or reinforce misconceptions which nonbelievers can have about Christianity.11
Our Tuesday night prayer and worship time at Daichi Church continued to be a great time of edification for all who attended. Our focus continues to be to pray for the people of the city...that the veil which has blinded their eyes would be removed and that they would be saved by grace through faith in Jesus Christ!
During our Wednesday English Bible study at Daichi church we were blessed to have a new student from Korea. She came because her friend (who not a believer!) recommended her to come. Of course it was great to meet her, but the best part was that she came to church on Sunday! Seems that the Lord is answering prayers and bringing more people to church! Amen!
I was able to return home from December 23rd through January 3rd only to enjoy a great time of fellowship with friends and family! Praise the Lord! During this time I was blessed and encouraged especially in regard to doors that may be opening during the course of this next year. May the Lord be glorified in 2010!
Please pray as the Spirit leads. Thanks for reading! May the Lord continue to guide us each and every step as we begin this new year!
In Jesus,
Tyler
