…as my honey sits around the table with 3 friends:
“Then those whose lives honored God got together and talked it over. God saw what they were doing and listened in. A book was opened in God’s presence and minutes were taken of the meeting, with the names of the God-fearers written down, all the names of those who honored God’s name.”
Malachi 3:16 The Message
“For many years I was bothered by the thought that I was a failure at prayer. Then one day I realized I would always be a failure at prayer; and I’ve gotten along much better ever since.”
Brother Lawrence from the 17th Century
Katie, from the USA, met a girl onboard Logos Hope in South Korea who had lived in her home state of Michigan. They talked for four hours. Half way through Katie asked her the One Wish question. ” If you could wish one thing from God today for you, what would that be?”
Her response!!!” I wish that if there was a god that he would come and live life here and understand what it is like to be human and remember it.” You can imagine the rest of the conversation.
I asked Danny as he fished,
“from God today for you, what would that be?
“That I could have eternal life,”
What a joy to show him with 4 pictures
on my wristband how he could have eternal life.
Many people on Logos Hope Mission Ship asked what was the one wish on the person’s heart and then they were able to pray a short prayer that God would bless that person/situation. ( you can check out ONE WISH gospel sharing training videos and materials ….Richard Sharp on line: OneWish4U.com
It was amazing to see reserved and private Japanese people open up and share a deep need from their heart. Many cried! As they thanked us for praying for them.
The average church in Japan is 10-12 people over 60 years old. Many cities have no church.

3 days: Friday, Saturday, Sunday
4 events: died, buried, raised, appeared

“For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance: that CHRIST DIED for our sins according to the Scriptures, that he was BURIED, that he was RAISED on the third day according to the Scriptures, and that he APPEARED to Cephas, and then to the Twelve…”
1 Corinthians 15:3-5 NIV
Happy Easter
