Dear Church,
Greetings in the wonderful name of Jesus!
Phew! I am finally back in our warm and wonderful country, Malaysia! It is just so nice to be home. This time round, I went to speak at Jesus Family Church, Yokohama and also His Call Church, Nagoya. Both churches are very different. The church in Yokohama is more established and has a stronger leadership base. All their leaders are super on fire for God. They are about 200 strong. The church in Nagoya is smaller but their pastor and their leaders have a very big vision for Nagoya. After meeting them and spending time with them, I can see God will use them greatly in the days to come. As for us, I want to ask all of us to continually pray for them as they seek to serve God and minister to the people in Japan. It is not easy. They are very steep in their culture and tradition. But let us intercede for them so that God through His Holy Spirit may bring about a mighty revival in the very near future. I want to ask us to pray for both the churches so that they may have 500 members in the next 3-5 years.
As for the home front, this coming week we will be having the one and only Pastor Pat Mesiti in our midst. He will be teaching 2 nights on relationships and over the weekend he will be teaching us on excellence in the marketplace. As our church move into the society more and more, I want all of us to come prepared to learn and receive wisdom from the man of God. Many years ago, most of us were students. But the demographics of our church had changed greatly over the last 2 years. Right now, most of our leaders are working. As such, we need to equip ourselves to minister to all the young adults of our city. We need to know their needs and be confident enough to meet it. Otherwise, we cannot stay relevant and will be able to effectively reach out to them and win them for Jesus! It is going to be a new and exciting phase in our journey. So let’s gear ourselves for a new season of change and breakthrough. With Jesus on our side, I am sure we can change our nation for the LORD!
Amen!
