Last Wednesday, we heard from one new church that has voted to take us on! Despite the church we were scheduled to be with on Sunday AM closing, the Lord opened up doors to another church and we were able to present the need for the Gospel in Japan. Sunday night, we were with a different church in Florida as well. Tomorrow, we will be heading to North Carolina for a meeting.
While the Bible study that we have been doing has not had any visitors, the Lord has used it to allow us to meet people in the community and share the Gospel with them. Among these people are a Muslim man and a seeking man. On Friday, the doors were opened to the home of a man and his wife. He is religious, but not saved and I was able to share the Gospel with him as well. Please be praying for Shawn to get saved as well as for the last week of our Bible study this Saturday.

Much like the hieroglyphics of days gone by, many of us use emojis to communicate thoughts and ideas in our day-to-day communication. But do you know about the strong Japanese meanings and ties behind these symbols? You might be surprised after reading this article.
