Homeless Outreach continues on...

Oh no! They forgot Johanna! While the rest of the CCM left, Johanna is staying behind an extra two weeks. She was on Okinawa 5 years ago and God has kept Okinawa on her heart...so... she's just hanging out and jumping into ministry here for a few days... then over to Ginowan and then to Naha for a few. She has a blog site too... http://godsgraciousgifttome.blogspot.com/
Ministry continues on... it was our Homeless outreach day (every 3rd Saturday). We meet at the church at 3pm for prep, cooking and prayer. Then head out at 5pm to the parks to feed and minister the love of Christ. Today's menu- chicken stew.
We are blessed because several of the Okinawan ladies from the church will also come out to help minister. The folks are often drunk but respectful. We are praying that they will surrender their lives and addictions to Christ.
Here Jeremy is explaining the gospel message to Yashi. Yashi was an interesting man. He spoke very good English. So we asked him how. He explained to us that he graduated from the University of Tokyo with an English degree and was teaching English at a local High School. We asked him 'what are you doing here?' His reply. "I am an alcoholic. I lost my job. I lost my family. I lost everything." God gave us the opportunity to share what the true source of joy, fulfillment and satisfaction for life truly is- Jesus Christ.
Roy Toma was also sharing with two other guys. Please pray for our outreaches. We are seeing more fruit each time. They know that we come every 3rd Saturday now and praise be to God, that one guy said that he is now understanding that God is real and loves him because we keep coming back. Our vision is that other churches and groups would join but on a different day that we might increase our efforts for Jesus.
