A few months ago, I met a lady named Kana through a friend in Tokyo. Just as my friend told me we would get along well, she and I were on the same wavelength from the first time we met. Even if we could not meet often, we talked over the phone and always stayed close like family. I was sure that she would be God’s child, who has such a beautiful and gentle heart, and I wanted to go to Heaven together with her; I felt that her soul was seeking God every time we talked.

Before the Passover, I made up my mind to deliver God’s sacrifice and love to her. Then, I prayed to God for the blessing and made an appointment with her to eat together in Tokyo. Her co-worker too joined us. When we finished eating and were waiting for the train back home, I told them how joyful I was to meet God, our Spiritual Parents, and told them that I hope they would listen to God’s words, which are the most important words in our life. I wanted to deliver God’s words by coming to Tokyo in person, and Kana accepted my request and promised to keep the coming Passover. On the train back home, I truly thanked God, who is always with me, for encouraging me and giving a chance to deliver the good news of salvation.

Later on, I called her from time to time and told her about the Passover, the way to eternal life. To my surprise, she rejoiced to tears. Besides, she asked her co-worker, who had eaten with us, to receive the blessing of going to Heaven together. I gave thanks to God over and over again for this pure and beautiful soul.

It was uneasy to travel because of the Corona-19 pandemic, but she willingly became a heavenly family member by receiving a new life on the day before the Passover, and kept the feast of life. During the worship service, she gave sincere thanks to God, understanding the value of heavenly blessing and repenting to God. She is filled with love and blessing from Heavenly Father and Mother, and preaches God’s love to her friends and acquaintances just like Jeremiah whose heart burned within him if he did not deliver God’s words. A while ago, she preached to her acquaintance in Nagoya along with our church member and bore the fruit of the gospel.

God must be pleased with her, seeing her soul, who just started the life of faith, growing up as a good gospel worker. I’m also impressed and encouraged by her. I pray that she will be able to somewhat repay the love of God who said, “I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”

I give thanks and praise to Heavenly Father and Mother, who believe us and pray for us, entrusting us with the gospel work though we are lacking in many ways. I pray we will walk the right path of faith and complete the world mission as quickly as possible, so that all the brothers and sisters will become the ornaments on the beautiful linen of Heavenly Mother.
