The Church In Japan: Eighty Eight
On Sunday the 29th of July our church welcomed the 88th member to join our church here in Japan. At times like that I always find myself looking back over the years. On October 5th, 1980 we held the first Sunday service here with six people in attendance. Over the years, God has guided 88 people to our church here either to believe in Jesus and be baptized or to join our church as an already practicing Christian. At our service on the 29th, the first two people to join our church here, Mr.and Mrs. K, and their son who was recently baptized here and who also is now a member of our church were in the audience. It has been a wonderful experience to see God guide each individual member here and build up a group of people into a living church.
I would covet your prayers for our church here that God will continue to add to this little flock of believers in Japan.
