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.

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 passionate about God and learn something new each time.

Our lovely church people, of course including me

I prayed for God to bring me to whever He wants me to be

God answered my prayers today. I prayed a prayer the other week to ask God to bring me to wherever He wants me to and lead me to be a witness for Him. God works everything for His good, and His plan cannot fail. Yesterday my neighbour rang our doorbell to ask if I was interested in trying out an English teaching job at a junior high school. I was excited but later realised the school was too far I called up to express my unwillingness to go 1 hr before. The teacher convinced me and I went in the end. The interview went smoothly and without me doing anything, I got accepted! The process for getting to teach at a public school is far more than difficult. It is a long long journey and for me seemed an impossible path to pursue. I had thought about getting a job as a public teacher, but I had to give up. I don't know why God literally flew me through this process, but I know it is definitely His plan for me. He said He would provide and will always provide for me, so there is no n...

Face my failures

Facing my failures has been one of the most difficult tasks in my life so far. Again, God has brought light into this weakness and has given me a lesson to build up my courage to acknowledge my failure and not be ashamed of it. I am facing a really difficult task God has given right now, and that is to accept the fact that I failed. In Romans 8:28 And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. Even in a difficult situation like this, God is in control and will work for the good for those who love Him. He will turn a bad situation into a good one and I need to trust with my whole heart that He loves me and His ways are perfect. Slowly I learn to accept my failure and still praise God for it, I know He has a purpose for it and it will not be in vain. Father God, may your will be done and not mine!

Prosperity in God

I am very much disturbed, namely, confused by the explanation in regards to prosperity. The world often says, men have infinite capabilities, as long as we work hard, set good goals, follow them step by step and not give up, we sure will prosper. In other words, we will obtain what we want. We can gain fame, become wealthy and enjoy more things life offers. People might create some mottos like, "Believe in yourself, never give up and success is yours". In reality, is that true? Do we actually reap more if we sow harder? Clearly, the world doesn't offer a satisfying answer in regards to living a real prosperous life. First question I would like to ask is, does being famous and wealthy mean prosperous? Secondly, what does prosperity mean? Now in some churches, they preach prosperity gospel, and I just feel some of the teaching has a tendency towards self help steps. Every time I hear it, I wonder if that is what God offers. Eg. "Have faith in God, yearn for more, then ...
