Hello and salutations, my wonderful peoples. Not too much to report on my end. Sadly, because of the wretched virus, the outreach team canceled their trip in April, so there isn't going to be an event with a skit this coming month. However, we are still wanting to make performances for everyone to watch, so we're considering making videos of our skits, both for ministry and as reference for future events! I look forward to using my writing to reach out to the lost here in Japan even more than I could ever imagine.
Speaking of the virus, so far there's only a few cases here in Sendai, which isn't good, but we're still able to go outside and buy toilet paper. The virus is growing steadily in Japan, and considering it has a large population of elderly, prayer for the contagion to slow down is much needed. Time will tell soon enough...
On a quick note, we had an awesome visitor from the Okinawa YWAM base, Andy San, come visit us briefly! Here's all of us together for dinner:
With this virus currently rampaging around the world, I would like to give my condolences and encouragement to everyone suffering, whether it be isolation in your home, losing a job, a family member being infected, or even having the illness yourself. If there's anything I may pray for, and/or if you need someone to talk to during this difficult time, please send me an email or Facebook message. Even when I'm far away, I'm here for you all too!
Most importantly, while the world is panicking and there's so much fear and uncertainty, I ask for each and every one of you to please look up to God Himself, and cast your fear, anger, and needs to Him, who is mighty to save. He's the great provider, comforter, and omnipotent One, far more powerful than any virus could ever hope to be. On our own, there is no hope. We're helplessly tossed and turned by the evils and perils of this world, but with Jesus' salvation, there is a true, pure, and unshakable hope that can never be taken or destroyed by any force in this life or the next. Please take the time to bow down and call out to Him, who's ready and able to listen to your pleas. Amen.
