In yesterday's post, I mentioned we went to our cousin's in Izena. She told us quite often of her husband's work reaching children.
Pictured here, just after explaining Jesus took our punishment on the Cross, one of the boys responded, "Meccha Kansha!"(Awesome Grateful)
Takashi wrote and printed little Gospel tracts in clear, plain language, that they would be able to understand. On the very back was the prayer to repent of sin and believe and trust Jesus to save.
Rumiko took time on the Izena beach to talk with the Lord. On one of the days we went with her, she told us an interesting story.
Takashi gave these out to all he met. One day however, Rumiko and Takashi were talking with an elderly woman about the Lord; and altho' it usually takes much time for older folks to accept Christ, she seemed ripe for salvation.
When it came time to make the decision for salvation, Takashi began to help her, but the grandmother began praying by herself...Takashi realized they were words he had composed for his tract.
She had found and read the tract over and over and so thoroughly learned it, she knew the words on the back page by heart and hadn't been able to wait to pray them!
Seeds had been sown intended for young hearts, but God had watered and brought about fruit in this 100-year-old's! What a God we serve. Let's just keep planting for His harvest.
