JAPAN
Thank you for praying for the relief efforts. Jeremy and Kumiko Jenkins, the leaders of the Church we helped to start, recently shared some amazing stories of salvation, healing, and a genuine openness to listen to the good news of the Gospel. PTL!
This past week started the national holiday called "Golden Week". The 5th of May marks "Children`s Day" there. I want to ask you to remember the children of Japan in prayer. Pray God moves mightily among the younger generation of Japanese that many will come to the knowledge of Jesus Christ and His saving grace.
In the Gospel of Mark 16:17,18 it says "And these signs will accompany those who believe: ...they will place their hands on sick people, and they will get well." I`ll never forget the time when I served at the Sano International School in Sano, Japan. I met a young boy named Shunsuke in the kindergarten. One day, Shunsuke had a stomach ache. When he came to me and told me his problem, I felt led of the Spirit to command the stomach ache to leave in the name of Jesus. Immediately, the pain left. PTL! Shunsuke went on to talk a lot about God, Jesus, etc,. and I thank God for the opportunity I had to sow seeds of the Gospel into the younger generation of Japanese. As we pray for the children of Japan, I believe God will open the eyes and the hearts of this generation and result in a great harvest of souls for the Kingdom of God.
Lets`s pray for an awesome move of God among the children of this nation and the nations of Asia!!
REIGN OF GRACE MINISTRIES (AIM) - The Gullands
As you know, God has a deep call on my FAMILY and I to reach Japan and the nations of Asia for the Gospel. Our hearts burn to reach the young generation; especially the poor and needy of SE Asia with the love of God. I have a dream to raise up teams in Japan, and now the USA, to go reach out for Jesus. Yes, our next steps have involved being in the USA, and God has shown our purpose at this time involves two main aspects:
- Communicating His heart of love for the Japanese, and people of Asia, to the Western Church
- Bringing expansion of ministry on both sides of the Pacific Ocean, at this moment, through prayer, connection to reputable ministries, and mission trips
Even though we as a family have followed God to the USA, we are really looking to build a team of partners with a heart for God and Asia. I want to keep this team of partners informed, prepared, and able to respond to the opportunities God leads us in. As we look forward to moving ahead in this season, we look to the Lord for provision to fulfill vision. Thank you for your involvement!
