“Initially, our team at Kangaku imagined that making conversations with the students would be difficult. However, we found the students were very willing and happy to spend time with us… after multiple appointments, relationships were built, and the hearts of the students were also open to spiritual conversations… In addition to sharing the gospel, we also shared our personal testimonies to show that Christianity is about having a personal relationship with the living God.”

“My heart broke to see her heart so closed to the Gospel, and it really struck me that the only way that she could come to know God is through the work of the Holy Spirit. So I resolved to pray, to rely on the Holy Spirit rather than myself, to pray that He would change the hearts of the lost…”

“Sayo was the first person that desired to pray with me to receive Christ after four years of evangelizing in college. I was overwhelmed with joy because I saw how much God loved Sayo. God told me to expect great things during this trip, and everyday He has shown me His faithfulness.”

“I hope to continue to reach out to people just like Z and not be discriminatory to who I evangelize to. I have seen that most meaningful relationships are one that are centered around God and not surface level interests and agreements with other people. As I heard back to America. I will continue to hold deep spiritual conversations with the people I am evangelizing to…”

“Being able to witness how God has been working within his heart over the span of a year gives me hope and confidence that God is working - not only in Sotaro but all the other friends I made in Japan. I can see the work God has done through us after sowing the seeds of the gospel into their hearts and seeing Him water those seeds to grow a deep desire to know Him. My hope and prayer are for all the friends that my team and I had made during this summer is that they will eventually come to see how loving God is and receive Jesus in their lives as their Savior.”

“There was fear that they might reject me, but God made a way—B noticed me looking through the Bible and asked if he could try looking up the verses. We ended up studying verse-to-verse for an entire hour! I then mustered up the courage and asked them if they wanted to pray to receive Christ. I distinctly remember B saying, “It would be my honor to,” then I looked towards C, seeing her nod her head. At that moment, I felt that my prayer was answered.”
