Sharing Of A Missionary in Japan

Usually, we have our discipleship bible study with people from Cornerstone Church in Portland building, but it's a little special this week where a lady will share her 35 years of experience in Japan. Few of us walked from Dunkirk to Wollaton Park for 20 minutes and we found Dorothy's house, thank God that night is not too cold.

First time in a British home:

We had spaghetti for dinner, custard pudding for dessert, and a little chit chat with chrysanthemum tea. I actually find my discipleship group kinda amazing, that we have Malaysians, Mexican and China students. Despise of her old age, Dorothy did amazing blending in our topics.

This is how puddings look like in British:

Dorothy shared with us some bible verses about reasons and needs to evangelize. She's under OMF to church plant in Japan since 1955. She met her husband along the journey, and also told us all the challenges, meeting different people, and leaving families behind. They're all so encouraging and miraculous.

A life dedicated to God in a foreign country:

"The one whose walk is blameless will minister to me."
-Psalms 101:6

Personally, I've met several missionary in Malaysia, like Chris Abner. I know the sacrifices that they made and how hard is it to start a ministry in a new place. However, the fruits that they harvest is the greatest comfort and joy that would be remembered forever. May God bless the heart and works of these people who dedicated their life for You, Amen.
