Joy in 3 baptisms

Three wonderful reasons to rejoice happened in the last few weeks.

 Three young men from our church decided to become Christians! Each has an amazing story of how God brought them from being someone who had never heard, to one who had heard and accepted the truth. 
One young man only came to our church for 3 weeks before deciding God was what was missing in his life and deciding to follow Jesus. He was completely unexposed to the teachings of the Bible previous to meeting Seth. Another young man was the first friend Seth made upon our move to Osaka. He is a very critical thinker, and his journey toward Jesus took time and much thinking. The third is another of Seth's original friends from when we first moved to Osaka. He has a great heart and needed time to decide for himself if Christianity was right for him.

None of these young men knew details about Jesus or what Christians believe before God brought them into friendships with people from our church - that is when they learned from the Bible for the first time.

Thank you to those of you who pray for our church here. Thank you to those of you who financially support our staff and ministry. 

Most of all, thank you Lord Almighty for your plan of salvation and that we have hope in Jesus! Please help us to share this message with everyone we meet. I truly feel the opportunities are endless. 95% of the people I meet here don't know anything about Jesus, and I pray for boldness to tell each one I can!
