6 baptized | news We gathered at the Iruma River on the outskirts of Tokyo the first Sunday in September to baptize six ladies. We have never had so many people baptized at one time in our 22 years of ministry in Japan! .JPG) Mrs. Nagano shared how she was looking for answers to the meaning of life. She bought a Bible and started coming to church in February knowing that church was the place she could find answers to her questions. God answered her prayer.
Mrs. Mukai came to our home in January looking for help. Her heart was troubled with problems she was facing. She has seen God working and answering prayer. She has such a burden to reach her unsaved friends.
Mrs. Shimada, a Chinese, came from a Buddhist background. When she came to Japan, she married a Japanese man. Another Chinese member invited her to church. Full of fear and troubles, God began the healing in her heart when she accepted Jesus her first Sunday in church.
Abby came to Japan as a 14-year old to work in order to send money back to her family in the Philippines. God brought her through another Filipina from church.
Miki was the first baby dedicated at our church 11 years ago. Her dad is an elder and her mom leads the praise team. Miki prayed to receive Christ several years ago while visiting Malaysia where her mom is from. Miki has a burden to see her grandparents find Christ.
Sarah, our youngest, gave her heart to Jesus when she was 5 and wanted to follow Christ in baptism. What a joy for Don to baptize all 5 of his children!
