Genghis Khan - The Food, Not the Man!

Most people in the West know about the menacing, dominating historical figure Genghis Khan - the Mongol. But did you know that there is a food (well, a meal, I guess) named after him? It is famous here in Hokkaido, and yesterday we went to a famous Genghis Khan (better pronounced and written Jingisukan) restaurant before heading to Yuni. Needless to say, the grilled lamb and mutton was incredible and very filling... but more importantly, the Yuni ministry:

We got there in plenty of time to set up the equipment for the gospel concert in the pastry shop, as we have been doing almost every Thursday these days. Last week when I went and shared a bit of the Word with the owner, she was very intrigued and I said, "Do you think it would be OK if I shared at next week's concert before we begin?" And she said, "For sure, please do!" So I prepared a short devotional/message out of Matthew 11:28-30. But anyways, as we were preparing, Steve's amp just stopped powering up. So we could not get any juice, and instead of doing 12 songs with great orchestration, we sang 4 songs acapella. Fortunately we had numbers (5 of us) so we were able to get through the songs alright. I think it was a blessed evening despite the technological failure. (Stupid Satan! But then, I guess God allowed it so it's all good!) Mihoko was able to share the gospel with one of the ladies who came, as well! Praise the Lord!



皆さん、ジンギスカン知ってますか？人物じゃなくて食べ物！（このブログは食べ物が中心です！というのは冗談だけどけっこう食べ物の話が多いかも）昨日は由仁町に行く前に長沼町の有名なレストランに行ってたくさんの羊肉を食べました！すごく美味しくてたまらなかった！止まらなかった！けどその日のメインは食べ物じゃなくて伝道だった。


いつものように木曜日に由仁町に行って伝道をします。今回は２人のお客さんを連れて５人でゴスペルコンサートを催そうとしたんだけど、楽器やAV機能を設定する時にアンプの電源が付かなくてアカペラのコンサートになっちゃった。けど、それは神様が許されたことで、賛美歌を歌う前に私は少し御言葉を分かち合えた。マタイ１１：２８−３０からで、メッセージを聞いてくれた一人は以前にクリスチャンスクールに通ってたと言って、ミホコさんがその人に福音を伝えることができました。

神様はすべてをご存知ですべてを統べ治めていることを改めて理解しました。
