Praise the Lord!!!

These past few days have been so tiring, with completely full days. And today started off slow and painful hehe, but today was just one of those days, where I could just see God working in the hearts of people here, putting me in the path of people who ARE searching for God, and these are the days where me being all the way here on the other side of the Pacific away from the home I've known, ALL makes sense. And I just praise God for it.

A group of summer interns and I were at a University, just checking it out for future ministry, prayer walking around the campus, and we decided to go to the bookstore. It was hard to converse with people at first, but then God just literally started dropping people in our path. It was so cool!!!! I personally talked with two people today. The first, was a guy, and it turned out his English was top notch, and he had actually visited UCI, and had even attended some Navigators (Christian club on campus) Bible study meetings. Man, think about it, out of all the people in Tokyo, and all the people in that university (and the university was so so big compared to others I've been to) I meet with this guy who had been to my very own school!!!! That is definitely God at work!!! And I asked him if he was Christian, he replied with, "not yet", which I've noticed is a kind of common answer from Japanese who are interested in who Jesus is and are interested in the Bible. Anyways I got to plant another seed, telling him my testimony, and we are going to meet up in the future! He's even going to introduce me to some of his Navigator friends who are coming from UCI for an 8 week summer missions trip I believe? Dude, what if I know some of them?!?!!? THAT WOULD BE SO AWESOMEEEEEEE!!!

Then before our conversation was even over, an intern girl brought over a girl who turned out to be a Korean girl who is going to college here. And her English wasn't that good, so I got to talking with her in Korean. And she told me she was Christian, and was looking for a church. So I was happy so I asked her for her story of how she came to know Jesus, and she told me she was Christian because her mom was Christian when she was still in her mother's womb. Well that's interesting I thought...so then I told her my story of how I came to know Christ. And afterwards, she just said on her own, "hrm I don't think I am Christian then because I don't have a relationship with Christ." And things just led from there to her accepting Christ and praying to receive Him in her heart!!!!! PRAISE THE LORD!!! Seriously, this is just so exciting!!!! Please pray for her!!!! We talked a little bit about baptism, but she is struggling with that because she said she was already baptized, but I pointed out to her that it was before she even knew Christ for herself, and she realized that it was true and said she will think about it. But praise God for her, and let's pray she will grow in Him!!!!! Thank you for your prayers!!! You are definitely a part of God's work here!!!
