This time around, Pastor Asano needed dental treatment which can be done by his friend in Japan at an affordable price, so we, as a couple, decided to return to Japan to join in Hakuba camp.
On the afternoon of the first Sunday when we attended a service at Tokyo Antioch Church,
surprisingly, we got invited to Mr. & Mrs. T's who live in Tokyo; we have been praying for them in NY for healing and salvation.
This time, we had a chance to pray for them in person and to tell the gospel of Jesus Christ.
They agreed to believe Him and prayed to accept Him for salvation; there was the presence of the Holy Spirit. We praise the Lord for that!
In Hakuba Camp we had wonderful blessings.
We got protected from the typhoon that was heading to Pastor Asano's hometown when he was returning there, as he was seeking God's guidance for which train to take. The train he took arrived safely at the station of his home town but the six trains after that suspended services all day. Praise the Lord for that.
