Suicide in Japan

Christina Duran sent me this link to this website. It is so disturbing that the Japanese people are committing suicide at an alarming rate. We know of it here in Japan and have experienced it first hand through other people. Some say that it is because of the pressure that the Japanese people have. There are a lot of reason that people say this happens, but when it comes right down to it, we all need a loving relationship with the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Only Christ can fill the void and emptiness in our hearts. His love and forgiveness is for all people. I share with many that the Japanese people have not rejected Jesus Christ because they have not heard of Him yet. It has been said "no one should be able to hear about Jesus Christ twice until everyone has heard about Him once". There is a huge need for more missionaries to come to Japan and share with them the Love of Jesus Christ. When you get a chance please double click on the link below to see the video. God bless you, Pastor Tommy

That's interesting.

There's not only a need for more missionaries in Japan, but there is also a need for more missionaries already in Japan and Japanese Christians to be more proactive, that is, with God's leading.

Locals that are unashamed of the gospel can reach crowds, locals would never come in contact with. The Locals need to be discipled.

We all need to "line-dance" with God's will. We need to keep our focus, so we don't miss a step!

I'm encouraged by this article. Thank you!
