Japan: The Rising Generation

These are the children and youth we met and ministered to in the worship camp. For each of them, God has a perfect will for their lives and wants them to know Him more.

We had the privilege of igniting a fire in these youths' lives - through worshipping together, telling them our life stories, and teaching about our identity in Christ. Most of them grew up in church and saw Christianity as a tradition. Many had yet to encounter God in a personal way. But on the last day of camp, we got to pray for them during a power-packed time of ministry that took us by surprise. God touched both them and us significantly, as we prophesied and declared God's purposes over their individual lives.


Just today, I received a testimony from the pastor's wife, as she told us what God had done through this camp.
"I got some words from God in worship time. God spoke to me that He deeply loved everyone of us and really wanted to give His love. Everyone is a very precious existence and His child. So, let them draw near.
After getting those words, God showed me a picture; Mako who was a very shy girl was standing at the front holding a mike. And God spoke to me again, 
“I am weak, but I am strong,” That was exactly same words as that Justin shared with us.   
Next day, I noticed Mako was standing at front and singing with my daughter Eimie. This was very surprising happening because Mako was never did such a big thing. Her mother also was surprised and said to me,  “I’ve never seen that she stood before everyone holding a mike. She was to do that too shy.”
