Last Thursday, they gathered at Hillcrest to introduce the Thanksgiving holiday to Asian friends. Here is Byoung's report and photos.
Hi. Pastor Tom, Thank you for your kindness and support.
God sent people more than we expected and about fifty people came! New comers are followings. Japanese: 14 people. Taiwanese: 2 people. Koreans : 6 people. Among new comers all 14 Japanese and three Koreans are non-believers. It was amazing that they came to church.
I preached the gospel and most of them, especially Japanese, heard the Gospel for the first time!! Free Thanksgiving Lunch was a great opportunity to present God’s free gift, Jesus Christ. Please keep praying for their salvation. Usually, the center of Japanese community is Buddhism and Shinto, not Christianity. When I met several Japanese students who came from Japan just several months ago, they even did not know about church! One of them asked me, “What is church? What is pastor doing?”
I pray that may God keep using this Free Thanksgiving Lunch sharing event to spread the love of Jesus to Japanese community so that they can feel church closer and know Jesus Christ as their Savior. I am really thank God that we work together for His Kingdom. Thanks again for your faithful support and prayer.
Blessing,
Byoung
Japanese Church of Austin
