A Visit to Sean's "Home-town"
December/15/07 Filed in: Relationship Evangelism | Intercession
Even though it’s the end of the year already, we’re still rejoicing over the great ministry opportunities we had this past summer. For example, we took what has become an annual trip to Sean’s “hometown” of Fukui in the countryside, where he lived and worked between 1995-1998.
In seven days, we reconnected with more than 25 friends (primarily non-Christian), many of whom we’ve prayed for more than 10 years! We long for these precious friends to know Jesus.
In addition, Sean preached at his former church, Alice sang, and Sean shared at a meeting for junior high school students from the school where he used to teach.
While we enjoy spending time in Fukui, we also experience a heightened sense of spiritual warfare. The grip of the Enemy there is strong, many people are spiritually oppressed and intercessory prayer is intense. Please remember to pray for the rural areas of Japan like Fukui, where there are very few churches and many people who don’t know a single Christian.
