G.A.P. Log #2: TNT Wedding- Tre n' Tomoko

I should be more consistent with these "God.Answers.Prayer" logs. He answers WAY more than I post. He deserves way more Glory than I give.

Prayer Journal on April 15, 2010: "I pray for Trevor and Tomoko's wedding, that it will bring you glory and that Christ will be at the center of it."

Answered on September 25, 2010:
TnT's wedding was DYNO-MITE!!! I've been praying for months for Trevor and Tomoko's wedding, for their preparation, but mostly for God's glory to be seen. I asked that Christ would be made known.

And God came through... through the ceremony, through the message, through the worship, through the foot washing ceremony, through the vows, through the testimonies at the reception... through and through.

Trevor was telling me how many people, especially from his family, were impressed with the realization that God is really alive in Trevor's life.

A cousin who is in a "basically Satanic" band came up to him and told him everything really made him think.

An old high school friend commented to Trevor how he always knew he was a Christian, but was blown away by what he saw that day.

A newborn believer (a man, may I mention?) shed tears at the demonstration of humility demonstrated in Christ's footwashing.

Through and through.

Praise the Lord for the testimony of His Love and Grace in Trevor and Tomoko's marriage! May he keep showing it in their lives... through and through.

God Answers Prayer log #1: Sharing Jesus in Taiwan

I think I'm gonna use this blog to start recording some prayers that God answers since I realized He's doing it quite often. I'll call them the "God Answers Prayer" log to showcase my creativity in coming up with names. So here's the GAP log #1.

Prayer Journal entry on June 3rd, 2010:
"Give me the opportunities to share Jesus as I'm in Taiwan".

Answered on June 12, 2010:
I think I imagined laying out the Gospel to either a college student or even a Taiwanese adult, showing how Jesus is better than Buddha or how there is only one true Creator God. However, I take this conversation as at least part of God providing opportunities to share Jesus.

Monica's 10 year old niece, Chanel, was asking some pretty loaded theological questions over dinner. These are questions that she's genuinely concerned about as a fifth grader (!):
- If we are called "sons of God", how can we call Jesus the Son of God?
- What language did Adam and Eve speak? What ethnicity were they?
- How can we be convinced that the life of Christ is an actual historical fact rather than made up stories of old?

Then jumps in her four-year old brother, Leo (or Do-do as we call him), with some questions of his own! (watch the video! SUPER cute).

I got to share a little about Jesus. Praise the Lord for providing these two opportunities! When you read this, lift up a pray for Chanel and Leo to one day fall madly in love with Jesus.

"Jesus said, 'Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these." Matthew 19:14
