We have just come back to Tokyo from Hiroshima where we were for about a week. Hiroshima is a city with so many stories to tell, stories of tragedy, survival, forgiveness, peace, and hope. We had the opportunity to meet many hibakusha (A-bomb survivors) who are now elderly. They shared their stories of survival and horror but with a great peace and forgiveness. We were able to minister at the Mutsumien A-Bomb Nursing Home, this was the first nursing home the Japanese government built for the hibakusha. We sang Happy Birthday in English as a group. We then sang a duet of the Happy Birthday song in Spanish and Portuguese in their celebration of their eightieth and ninetieth birthdays. We learned so much from the hibakusha and the people of Hiroshima about forgiveness, love, and peace.
We were also able to evangelize to many people on the streets in Hiroshima and we are still amazed at their kindness and forgiveness. They accepted us and listened to us about the ultra atomic impact of Jesus in our hearts with breakthroughs. There is an open door for brothers and sisters in Christ from America and other nations that want to receive the love from the wonderful and loving Hiroshima people and share the love of Jesus with them.
We are now saying Mataneh (see you later) to Japan. It has been a wonderful mission here with so many blessings and we are so very grateful to God and you all for your support, prayers, and love.
Tomorrow we are going to Taiwan, where we have felt called to for a long time.
