The Mountains and the Hills

Hi! I`m so excited to be in touch with you this week! Reign of Grace Ministries (AIM) communicates God`s love for the Japanese and the people of Asia. We seek to bring expansion in ministry through prayer, networking, and taking mission trips on both sides of the Pacific. Thank you for standing with us in what God has called us to do.

WHAT IS THE HIGHEST MOUNTAIN IN JAPAN?

Did you know three-fourths of Japan remains covered with mountains? And, if you ever fly over Japan, you would see tall mountain ranges running through the center of the country like a spine. On the main island of Honshu, not too far from Tokyo, Mt. Fuji stands as the tallest mountain (12, 390 feet). At the base of the mountain is a national park where many people enjoy climbing to the top for a breathtaking view.

The Word of God says in Isaiah 55:12 "You will go out in joy and be led forth in peace; the mountains and hills will burst into song before you, and all the trees of the field will clap their hands." As people of faith, when we take time in His presence, He raises us up and sends us out in joy. He leads us forth in peace to release His glory and Kingdom to a world that does not know Him. 

Let`s keep remembering Japan! Although many Japanese people worship the mountain itself as god, let`s pray that the mountains and hills will burst into song and the glory of the Creator God will be seen and worshipped throughout this nation. Please pray in the following ways:

  • Pray for northern Japan where the earthquake and tsunami hit
  • Pray for Jeremy and Kumiko Jenkins, the Church, and all who share the love of God through faith in Jesus Christ in bringing healing, restoration, miracle working power.

GULLAND FAMILY UPDATE

  • Samantha - We are still in process of working out things for Samantha`s hopes for Faith Academy in the fall. We continue to seek God for His wisdom and provision for God`s best for her.
  • Jacob - The dates for the Ballet Magnificat Summer Intensive are coming up quickly! (June 25th to July 23) He is still in need of funds for this time there. Thank you for PRAYING for him that God will do a great work in his heart and body. Also, pray for the counsellors and other campers to really experience a life-changing time.
