Team B: Day 3 - Tokyo Sunshine Church

Today team B set out separately to visit three churches in the morning. Ps Jimmy, Kianboon and I went to Tokyo Sunshine Church, attended mostly by chinese PRCs residing in Tokyo.

Upon entering the auditorium, warm smiles greeted us from many friends that we befriended when we were here earlier in May. We came to share and encourage them about the G12 vision and were truly privileged to witness the forming of their first G12 group then.

Today, Ps Abraham shared their struggles about how they had been trying to raise up the 2nd level of leaders and spurred the church to persevere in the G12 vision no matter what. His wife, Sarah, shared the testimony of how they persisted in prayer for a brother that was stricken with leukemia. She truly demonstrated for us what it means to never give up!

After service, we were invited to join them for lunch, kindly prepared by their church members. It was there that we met with some influential Chinese researchers that were posted to Japan. According to Kianboon, one of them was a top researcher in Beijing, China. They had many questions for Ps Abraham, but we were appalled by how he answered each with the wisdom of God.

We joined in their Power station, basically a time for prayer and praise that takes place every Sunday. We were very touched as Sarah led the congregation to pray for Pastor Khong and the Magic of Love. It was truly an encouragement to witness a local church acknowledge and advocate what God is working through Pastor and MOL. She also challenged the church to rise up to pray and reach out to the Japanese.

Ps Jimmy shared with the church on how to seek God in prayer. I also had the opportunity to share my testimony on how God blessed me with favor when I exercised faith to pray for my new job.

I give thanks for the good relationship that we've established with Tokyo Sunshine Church. So as Ps Jimmy have shared, let's continue to P.U.S.H. together, PRAY UNTIL SOMETHING HAPPENS!
