Please allow me to introduce you to Yoshki Okano and his family…
Several years ago I met a young Japanese student, at my church (El Shaddai, in SJC, CA), he was a student at CSU | California State University, Fullerton.
We became very close friends, and after we first met I told him a story about a testimony I had heard at a Promise Keeper’s Convention,
There was this Korean pastor who was talking about how back during World War II Japanese soldiers had come into his community, took all the congregation of his church, locked them inside and burned the church to the ground.
Then he told of this Japanese Pastor who came over from Japan, after the war, to apologize for that atrocity and with their own funds rebuilt the church.
As soon as I told Yoshki that story, he said, “yes, that was my grandfather.”
And afterwards he told me that his grandfather did the same thing in the Philippines.
Yoshki’s grandfather is like Billy Graham in Japan, where he runs a school of ministry; and also both Yoshki’s parents are pastors.
I just want to encourage everyone to please pray for Yoshki and his family’s Ministry in Japan.
If I remember correctly, it is estimated that less than 0.5% of the population in Japan are Christian.
I just would like to thank you all for your prayers and support for this ministry.
Shalom shalom,
