| Sakamoto family, rescued from Iwaki City, near Fukushima nuclear plant |
Report
from CFN Japan Bible School
March
17, 2011
Dear
Praying Friends,
This is
a photo taken this morning of the Sakamoto Family, who arrived at Christ For The
Nations Japan Bible School last night from Iwaki City, one of the cities where
the earthquake and tsunami has hit. Also it is only about 50 km away from the
Fukushima Nuclear plant. Everyone arrived in tears of relief and thankfulness to
be in a safe and warm place. They hadn’t had a bath for 3 or 4 days, and that’s
pretty unthinkable for a cleanly Japanese!
Kiyonori’s Family Have Accepted Christ
Kiyonori
Sakamoto, in the center of the picture in blue, and his wife Lena on the far
right have been studying at CFN Japan since September last year. They were very
worried about their family living in Iwaki City under the threat of radiation.
So with permission from CFN Japan Bible School, they invited the family to come
and stay at CFNJ as evacuees.
Since
the earthquake and the threat of radiation, and Kiyonori sharing the Gospel of
Jesus Christ to them, all the family members in this photo have accepted Jesus
Christ into their lives! From that point on, they started experiencing miracles
of provision of water and other necessities plus being able to obtain air
tickets to Hokkaido, where CFNJ is. God is good! The family is looking forward
to attending church on Sunday, and they are considering getting baptized.
A
Harvest of Souls
God is
working speedily at this time folks, and we ask you to pray for the harvest of
souls. We sense a tremendous spiritual battle going on over souls in Japan. It
is time the spiritual strongholds over Japan to be broken, idols to fall, false
Gods to be exposed and torn down, so that the captives of Japan can be set free.
Dear
Praying Friends, the greatest contribution you can give to Japan is to pray for
souls to be saved, be built up, equipped and even sent out to the harvest field
around the world! Like Moses of old, please keep your hands of prayer up for
Japan. We’re going to win this one with the Lord on our
side!
We have
been able to help the Sakamoto family with money for food. As donations for the
earthquake relief work comes in, we are planning to send the funds to churches
and Christian relief organizations working in the hardest hit areas. If you wish
to donate online, please give to CFNI mentioned below.
God
Bless You,
Gerald
