MEM mission team

It's great to be able to have a mission team coming to our church and work with us to preach the gospel. In fact, I have learnt a lot from them. I see their passion in Christ, their prayfulness, their humbleness, and their servant heart. They have a really full schedule, but I never see them complaining, never see them feeling tired. Whenever I see them I see energy, enthusiasm and smiles.

This makes me see what a real Christian is like and should be like. I see the power of prayer, the power of God working in their lives and the lives of the people who come to hear the gospel. I realised that relying on God is the only key to great glory for our Lord Jesus Christ. It's not about our own effort, but God's. Praying can move a mountain, but our own effort and strength can do nothing, especially move people's hearts. Preaching the gospel is not easy, it requires a lot of time and effort. However, without praying and submitting the work of mission to God, everything becomes obsolete.

We need to pray, to connect with God, to ask the Holy Spirit to work in our hearts, minds, souls as well as in the unbelievers' hearts.

Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord  your God will be with you wherever you go." Joshua was chosen by God and was given instructions to be successul in what God chose Him to do. It is sad to see that people don't understand or believe that- Success in God is the greatest success we can have in life. We seek success in life, even pray for success but often fail to follow the seemingly easy instructions from God. When we do not succeed in things, we blame God. God told us through Joshua, there are 2 ways to be successful 1) ...

Street outreach band

This Monday, our small group leader invited us to an outreach event organised by church. It's a street outreach band, playing and singing Christian music in the street of Shibuya, known as one of the busiest areas in Tokyo. Apparently they go there every Monday and Thursday nights to sing and reach out to people who may be interested. Getting ready to sing Her voice is really beautiful It's such a great thing for them to do. However, it was the first time for me to do something like this, and I don't think I did a good job. All I did that night was standing at one spot stiffly and clapping none stop, because I wasn't brave enough to go around to approach people. Having said that, I am glad I participated in the event. It was a good way for me to build up my confidence and finding my own way to tell the gospel to the people in the streets, although I totally failed at the first trial. I think it is great to be able to do it with other young people who are also passiona...
