Biggest shock of the day???
July 16, 2008
We are blessed to have Rachel Routt, a former journeyman, with us for a few weeks. Here she shares about her trip to a small city in Chiba on her first day back in Japan.
Driving through the towns and villages of Japan is like night and day compared to the busy subways of Tokyo. My first day back to Japan was spent in such a town. We covered much ground on that day…. prayerwalking/prayerriding, distributing literature, meeting with Japanese (Christians and nonChristians). I had my first Japanese meal in a quaint little bread store run by a lady and her three daughters.
Besides the Japanese shrines and temples that were prevalent throughout the city, the most sobering part of the day was the view of a towering Mormon “church.” The building looked out of place next to the smaller Japanees homes in the area. As we prayed around the building I thanked God that He is so much bigger than the Mormon cult. A verse from John came to mind, “And they will know the truth and the truth will set them free.” Pray for the Japanese in this area that they would know the truth and that the truth would set them free.
