So many wonderful blessings came packaged in this one event...
1. I had the best worship time in all my time here in Japan, maybe even in my whole life up to this point.
2. I was able to meet, fellowship, start friendships, and serve alongside with Christians - Japanese Christians. Oh yes.
3. It felt like I was in America sometimes hehe :P
4. Chris Tomlin sang in Japanese. Not even my heart language I know, but it hit me in a special way. Now I can't get enough of his amazing God-inspired music. You should listen to his song, "Awakening" (<-- click to go to a youtube link for the song). He is no longer my favorite, he is now my favorite favorite musician hehe.
5. Christian friends came from different parts of Japan and I was able to see their beautiful faces again and be excited for what God is doing here.
6. And so many more, which I'm too delirious with joy to remember and type out right now...
Mr. Louis Giglio made his sermon evangelistic, which I'm so grateful for. The Japanese pastor who translated, worked so hard and did an incredible job. Chris Tomlin and his band did an amazing job leading worship - words cannot express how my heart bubbled over with the deep joy of being able to listen to them in person praising God and being able to join right in with them. Can you tell that listening to Chris Tomlin and the band was my favorite part (if I could actually choose among my favorite moments during the event hehe)? Many non-believers were able to hear the gospel - who knows how many of them have their names written in the book of life, or whose lives will be changed as a result? Our good friends D-san and N-san brought their good friend M-san who is not a believer. Please pray for M-san, she is such a sweet sweet girl and God is working in her heart. Let's pray for her awakening to God's love!
Thank you Passion for coming to Tokyo!!!! Let's pray that this was not a one night event, but a catalyst for amazing life changes that God will bring about in the hearts of the people here!!!!!
Now if only Passion would go to Cali when I'm back...
PK if you read this before it happens, you have to go to Passion in HK!!! There will be a mighty gust and it will carry you to the finish!
Sure, will do
