Tokyo Korean Adventist Church, in cooperation with the Kanamachi Church, Amanuma Church, and the Koganei Church, did street evangelism from November 12 to 15, 2013. They distributed about 120,000 tracts, booklets, and publicized various events each church had prepared. Forty-three Korean volunteer workers worked with the Japanese church members in the distribution of evangelistic publications, and house visitation.
Time in the Word, prayer, and testimony each morning, and evening was really graceful and joyful, too. The activity of the 43 people, including an 80-year-old retired pastor, drew other people’s attention. In spite of many inconveniences, they devoted themselves without even a word of complaint.
It was a good experience that “in all things God works for the good.” Japanese church members warmly welcomed their Korean brethren and provided a nice lunch every day. The church district paid for transportation expenses.
The Northern Asia-Pacific Division and the Japan Union Conference gave assistance by printing the tracts. It was a short, but very meaningful opportunity to have evangelistic experience, following Jesus’ example.
