Outreach on the Streets of Tokyo
Last week we spent every day, Monday to Friday, going out into the streets of Tokyo with the aim of meeting people and sharing God's love with them. And I had to somehow lead this time! Scary! Well, it would have been scary if it were me actually leading. It was God. Thankfully so!
The students under my charge did an amazing job at worshipping God every morning and listening to him in order to follow him each day! We spent time every morning to thank God for who he is and what he had done then gave him all of our ideas of evangelism and all of our worries and fears. I split everyone up into small groups and each group listened to God and decided on what they felt he was saying.
We had people go to Shinjuku, Harajuku, Yoyogi Park, Shibuya, Meguro, Musashi-Kosugi, Ebisu and even Yokohama among other places I can't think of right now!
We met lots of homeless people, prayed for them and gave them food and drink. We also met random people on trains and parks and the street and even McDonalds! We simply chatted with people and listened to them and asked if they wanted any prayer for anything. We wanted to love people as Jesus did and not just go to people like we know it all with judgement in our eyes! Some people needed prayer for physical healing and they literally felt better after praying!
It was a difficult week. It's hard to put yourself out there and talk to strangers about God. The students did a great job at pushing themselves even when tired and were obedient to God.
