Lifted Vision Ministry

Greetings friends and family in Christ!

I wanted to give an update to those of you who have been praying for A-san and interceding for her salvation! (If you don’t know who A-san is, please look back and read the blog post called, “Church in Japan & Children’s Ministry!”). Well everyone: I have the best news!!!
🎊A-san has given her life to the Lord! 🎊 During church service this past Sunday, A-san received Jesus Christ as her Lord and Savior! I am overjoyed and please rejoice with me as we celebrate a new Japanese sister into the family of God! At 68 years old, A-san became saved by faith on 7/10/22; just ONE DAY after I posted her story on this website and urged you all to pray! (I posted her story online on 7/9 and she received Christ the next day on 7/10!) It took only 24 hours!
God is so good!
Although I give the ultimately praise and glory to God for her salvation, I want to also give a big thank you to YOU for participating in prayer for her and playing such a big role in this dear woman coming to know Christ! I want to encourage you in the might and strength of your prayers! After just one day of your prayers, God delivered a new soul into the Kingdom!
Isn’t that amazing!? Truly a miracle of the Lord!
I want to encourage you and tell you that God is using us and this ministry for such a time as this! God has opened the door of salvation to the Japanese in this area right now! That is why He sent me here! It truly does take more than one person to make an impact though; it takes the whole body’s participation to make a lasting impact in this life and in the next one to come! When we come together, we are strong and powerful! We are many parts, but one body! You can make an impact in the Kingdom of God from right where you are now by praying for Japan and the unsaved people here!

-1 Corinthians 12:24-27 NIV–
“But God has put the body together, giving greater honor to the parts that lacked it, so that there should be no division in the body, but that its parts should have equal concern for each other. If one part suffers, every part suffers with it; if one part is honored, every part rejoices with it. Now you are the body of Christ, and each one of you is a part of it.”

I ask and beseech you brethren: Would you continue to partner with me in prayer for the Japanese? Would you continue to pray that many would be saved and come to the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ? I pray that God would continue to use us mightily to share the gospel and that each and every Japanese in this area of Japan would encounter Jesus Christ and be saved! May
fruit continue to come from this mission abundantly ! God Bless You and Thank You!

“Then Jesus told them this parable: “Suppose one of you has a hundred sheep and loses one of them. Doesn’t he leave the ninety-nine in the open country and go after the lost sheep until he finds it? And when he finds it, he joyfully puts it on his shoulders and goes home. Then he calls his friends and neighbors together and says, ‘Rejoice with me; I have found my lost sheep.’ ⁷ I tell you that in the same way there will be more rejoicing in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who do not need to repent.” – Luke 15:3-7

“Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved.” – Acts 4:12
