I would like to explain why I make evangelistic trip to Okinawa:
There are many American and some Okinawan churches there but most local people don't know about the Bible and much less God and Jesus. Those Christains there don't seem to know how to reach out to local people. It is a sad situation. What a waste.
Most adults are not interested in God and Jesus but children are. So I am targetting those children. All I do is to ask them if they are interested in knowing Jesus, and if they are I give them the New Testament. I also encourage them to read it on daily bases little by little even if they don't understand it. I am hoping that the Holy Spirit will help them understand since they don't have anyone who is knowledgeable. I don't encourage them to attend church because it seems that most churchgoers are ignorant of the Truth. I rely on the Bible to teach them.
love, hitomi

You did the best you can .
You did according to what is written here:

for after many days you will find it again.

I am back safe and sound.
I did not hand out as many New Testaments as last time but I am still thankful some children received thankfully. It is all God's will.
I have spread about 800 books.
Thank you YHWH and Jesus for safe trip. _________________ YHWH is my God and Jesus is my Lord

I praise God for for my safe trip and successful evangelism. I have spread about 600 New Testament books.
I feel kind of hypocritical saying Jesus is love when there are many American soldiers in the military base who are in the churches in Okinawa.
I have to explain to people who are so doubtful about Christianity that Jesus does not advocate war. I have to tell them over and over that Jesus is not for war. Jesus teaches us to love our enemies.
We should realize how we are disreputing and misrepresenting Jesus when we claim to be Christian and support the military.
Jesus tells us that His followers are not of this world even though they live in this world. His followers should not get involved with this world's affairs especially violent activities.
It is a grave sin. _________________ YHWH is my God and Jesus is my Lord

Dear Sister, I didn't know that you had gone on your trip, but had thought that you may have, due to your absence on the forums.
Very well done indeed. It's wonderfull to see that you are able to do these trips & help the children in Okinawa.
May you receive many blessings from our Heavenly Father, for the efforts that you put into this work.
