James and Rosie share updates on their ministry, expressing excitement about recent developments. Rosie recounts how two women discovered their YouTube channel, one of whom, a Filipino teaching English in Japan, shared the gospel with a Japanese school teacher. The teacher, seeking resources in Japanese, found James’s videos and ultimately decided to follow Jesus. James and Rosie are thrilled to have played a small role in her journey.
James describes ongoing Friday night outreach efforts with Pastor Luis, where they use street interviews during events like Halloween to spark spiritual conversations. By asking questions such as “Do you believe in ghosts?” they connect with people and guide discussions toward faith. These efforts aim to build an online and in-person presence downtown.
Rosie highlights the growth of their Kids Club, which recently welcomed nine children and families after a Bolivian-Japanese friend invited her neighbors. Two mothers shared childhood memories of limited exposure to the Bible, showing how small connections can reignite spiritual interest. The event reflects how sustained outreach bears fruit over time.
They also share plans for a Christmas jazz concert featuring a Christian saxophonist, a February downtown worship service, and a January English ministry launch. They praise God for stateside volunteers helping with social media and invite prayers for their ministries. James and Rosie thank supporters, celebrating the progress and opportunities ahead in sharing the gospel.
