You are probably here because you have a heart for God, and a heart for Japan.
I love history, and one of my favourite figures is a chap who lived about 100 years ago called Uchimura Kanzo. Now, I don't necessarily agree with everything he said and taught, but he did teach and say some great stuff, and had some marvelous revelation on the Kingdom. I visited his grave site in Tokyo last month and found these words in English on the head stone:
I for Japan
Japan for the World
The World for Christ
And all for God
Wow! What a great statement of worship and purpose. To be “for” Japan is the servant heart of God; Jesus was for the world when he gave his life to redeem us.
I’m praying that we can be a fulfillment of Uchimura’s prayer.
I hope to be updating this blog with different news items and testimonies for English speakers who have a heart for Japan. Please stay in touch!
