A Wonderful Story of Fruit in Japan

Yoshikazu from Northern Japan (3) 4
Yoshikazu Kasahara , was not a believer when he lost his home and most of his possessions in the 2011 earthquake and tsunami. But things began to change as he witnessed many Christian groups, including OMS, and SMI respond to the needs of the Japanese people. He was especially impressed to see Christians  being the hands and feet of Jesus when most of the other NGOs pulled out of Japan.
But things began to change as he witnessed many Christian groups, including OMS, and SMI respond to the needs of the Japanese people. He was especially impressed to see Christians  being the hands and feet of Jesus when most of the other NGOs pulled out of Japan.
So, Yoshikazu began asking questions  about Jesus. He had many biases … and didn’t want to believe, but the truth of the Gospel was too overwhelming to him … that and the compassionate response of Christians in the midst of disaster. Yoshikazu gave his heart to Jesus and soon received a call to ministry.
Today, he is studying at Tokyo Biblical Seminary in Japan and soon hopes to be involved in full-time ministry.
No, God is not yet finished in Japan!
 There are over 35,000 people still living in temporary shelters.
Come and be the feet and hands of Jesus.  There is no other investment in life that compares to reaching the UnReached People of Japan
