Hirosima SahmYook school



     Our second trip is in Japan. The first place that we were going to serve was SahmYook school in Hirosima. In April 28, we flew to Hiroshima at 6:30 p.m. 

     We arrived to Hiroshima Airport at 8:00 p.m. The students and pastors from school came and greeted us. We were so glad to meet them. And immediately we moved to the school where we were going to serve.

From Monday, the week of prayer was started. Before we start, we gathered together and prayed.  

     From Monday, the week of prayer was started. We were in charge of special songs. Actually we were worried about the student's mood, but they gladly welcome us, and we praise God together. The  students were polite and calm when they listen our songs and Pastor Hanada's sermon. 

     The speaker of week of prayer was Pastor Norihiko Hanada. He is the assistant to the President for Evangelism. He  and the theme was 'One Heart, One Mission'. His sermon was very interesting and touched our heart. 

     Thanks to the students who translated in English, we could be touched by the pastor's sermon. They were the most thankful people to us. 

     From Monday to Friday, we visited some classes. We sang some songs for them, and had testimonies for them. And after that, they asked some questions to us. Among the questions, some questions made us little bit embarrass, and some made us think more about our mission. Through this time, we could  think more about our mission, and again felt that the mission that we are doing is really important in our ministry.

     On Wednesday, and Thursday, we visited elementary school for the special song. They were pretty small group that all the elementary students were in one classroom.  First the students had a special song and Golden Angels boys sang a quartet and the song was ' You Got to Do Right.' They sang with some humor, so they liked it.

     Especially I want to introduce him. He is the vice president of this school. He made some delicious bread for us. And one day, we visited a class that he was having, and we did our testimony and sang a song as usual. And he had some question, and suddenly cried. We were so embarrassed. The question was " Why are you having this mission in Japan even though you guys are Korean?" And he said that he was so touched by our songs and our ministry. We gave an answer to him, " We also serve Japan because we are family in Jesus Christ."

We had a concert on Wednesday. We sang with all our heart.

     Some students wanted to sing with us so we made a instant choir and practiced after lunch. They were very enthusiastic. We practiced the song "Holy Holy Holy." And on Friday, we had a special song together. It was great. We will never forget this moment.

On Saturday, we visited middle school. They invited us to sing in sabbath school. 

     On Sabbath day, we had a baptism ceremony. Three in middle school, two in high school  were got baptized. The baptism ceremony was held outside. It was beautiful and touched our heart. We all congratulated the students who accepted Jesus Christ as a personal savior.

     With his prayer, we finished all our mission in  Hiroshima SahmYook School. We again felt that we have to do our best to preach God's word to Japan. They need YOUR PRAYER.
