I Heard A Still Small Voice

I Heard A Still Small Voice

I heard a voice in my ear day after day, not a cricket playing the role of my conscience, telling me to do this or that, but a voice booming in its power, and gentle in its tone. A whisper that seemed to speak in the quiet, and that spoke to my very soul, challenging the chains I placed on my heart. This voice has been speaking for years, slowly shaping my heart to His will, and now it has spoken a single word, “Japan".

CSOM (Calvary School Of Missions) has come to an end, and I am now back in the States. Though as the old saying goes “I didn’t hear no bell”, and even though CSOM is over, the fight is still on, and round two is about to start. This “fight” of mine won’t end here, the Lord has placed missions on my heart, and told me where to go, Japan. MTS (Missions Training School, through Calvary Saving Grace World Missions) is the next step in this journey. Mexico was to give people who have never been on the missions field a taste of what it is like, MTS is to prepare people for this journey into missions.

Japan is the end goal, a people group that is the largest unreached group. Yes they have internet, TV, and can travel freely, they can look up Jesus any time they want, but they never will. There is a saying in Japan, “The nail that sticks up, is the one that gets hammered.” The meaning of which is, never step out of line, because if you do society will come down on you. The Japanese are simply a people to busy to “think” of God, to wealthy to “need” God, and to “afraid” to ask for God. In their minds, there is no room for even the thought of what comes next after death, and who God is. How sad that is, that satan has such a grip on their minds as a culture, that he has blinded them to even the idea. Sure they have religions of their own, but they teach them not to worry, just keep doing what you're doing and all will be well. And as for god, nobody knows who that is, so don’t bother asking.

From what I hear on the ground, 1.1% is kinda generous

Lawson and FamilyMart are 7-Eleven rivals.

So what next? Well MTS is the next step. I’ll be moving down to Southern California for a year to attend this school, and after that year, Lord willing I will go. But there is a catch. Due to laws in Japan, I cannot just up and go, find a house and live there. I need to prove I can afford to live there, and the funds have to come from back in the US, not from Japan itself. So I want to ask you to please prayerfully consider partnering with me finically. I’m confident that the Lord will provide the funds, but I am excited for you guys to be apart of this ministry, and a great way to do that is through financial support. This ministry is not just me alone, it is as much me going as those who are sending me, so if you are able, and the Lord is laying in on your heart, I ask that you join me financially and be apart of what the Lord is doing. And any financial support that is given now or in the next year, will be saved by Saving Grace World Missions and will not be accessed till I go to Japan.

If you don’t feel called to support me financially, you can still partner with me by sharing my newsletters with others or your church, praying for me, or just sending me an email, because I would love to hear from you, as that kind of support is priceless.

God bless you my friend.

Prayer Requests

I cannot go to Japan till I meet my financial goals to do so. My Church won’t send me, nor will the Japanese government allow me a visa if I do not meet this goal. So I ask for prayer in meeting this goal.

Our Ministry

This ministry is not just my ministry, it’s our ministry. When you come along side me in prayer, encouragement, or financial support, you reap the rewards of this ministry and store up treasures in heaven. As these are the rewards of the ministry. This is just as much your ministry as mine, as I am the hands and you become the arms when you join with me. So thank you.
