Kitakyushu-Fukuoka (KFC) Summer News
August 26, 2008
In July we participated with local house-church believers in what is called a “Spiritual Conference.” It was new to all of us. In a large room with tables, people who claim to have the “spiritual” answers to life’s problems offer help, for a fee of anywhere from $10 to $30 for a one-time session. Most of them are witches, spiritual healers, diviners, and all are in the New Age type of spirituality.
They allowed us to participate because of one spiritual healer, CM, who was saved and baptized. She is trying to stay in the New Age world and be a witness. We called ourselves “Christian Mediators” and offered people God’s Word through showing them scripture related to their life situation. We also invited them to pray at that moment. Most of them did, and some heard God’s voice. However, none of them was earnestly seeking to know God himself. One lady prayed saying she believed in Jesus, but a week later when a member met with her, she declared that she was not going to become a Christian because of her Buddhist background.
Our group was told before the end of the day that we would not be allowed to participate in the next conference. This shocked CM, who is now struggling with her faith
Here is how you can pray. Pray for the 20 people who came to our table, that they will read the Bible they received. Pray that God’s Word will not return to Him void, as He promised. Pray that God will work among the New Agers through CM. Pray that CM will trust God and bring glory to Him through all of her activities.

Got something to say?
Can you tell me what is going on regarding Yokohama? Any English-speaking work? Any English-speaking churches?
