A HAPPY GROUP
Spring
has arrived and as anticipated we've enjoyed
the beauty
of
cherry
and
plum blossoms
and
camellia.
During the month
of
May we see the colorful azaleas
which
resemble
the
rhododendrons.
Delicious straw
berries as
large
as plums
all laid
neatly
in rows
in
a
quart sized-box are marked 300

{ 8 0 ( / : )
.
Besides the miracles of nature we are
also
witness
ing
miracles
of the Holy
Spirit
performed
through
the
power of the Word
in
the lives of God's children. Our
doorbell
rang at 7:30
one
Sunday morning
recently.
I
thought, 'These
diligent Bible
School children
are
coming earlier all the time owever, it was
Katsumi
Omura,
the young man baptized in February.
Several
weeks before
he
became a Christian plans
had
been
made for him to
go
out of
town.
He came to pray
and
partake
of the
Lord's Supper before
he
left.
A
recent
overnight guest
was Keiko Ishikawa,
who
became
a
Christian
in
February, too. After graduation
from
Keisen Jr.
College
she became a
secretary
in the
office of
a
member
of
the
Upper
House
of
the
Diet.
She h u l i g e r s for Christian fellowship.
It
seems—to-her
that all those
around her at
work
think
only of
money.
'Today, if
you are not
a s
close to God
as
you once
were,
who
moved?
God
didn't
his
question
was
asked
by
David Smith when he
preached here. David and
Sylvia
are spending
a
missionary
internship in Japan with us
for
about
six
months.
One
hundred five adults
and children
attended
the
Missionary Convention, April
5-7, at
Amagi Sanso on
Izu Peninsula, a two
hour
scenic drive
from
Isehara.
The fellowship
was like
an
oasis
to
thirsty, weary
travelers.

and

Japan Reporter. We're grateful that the Andrew Pat tons
allowed us to
live
in their house this
past
year
so
that Sarah
and
Mary could commute every day.
The Standard clipping at t h e

is not just mere
statistic to us. It
tells us
of

High

is June

and
two
of her
classmates
will
be bridesmaids
for their
older brothers
and
all
three
weddings
are
on
the same
day,
June
26th.
This
fall Mary
will enter
The Cincinnati
Bible
Seminary.
Last
week Mary w ent with
the C.A.J. Choir
to
the
Zama
Base
Chapel and hospital. Meeting these injured
servicemen from Vietnam causes us to pray for peace
in
that
country and
for these
men who
have
already
sacrificed so much of life.
We
know that All things
work together for good to them that love
God,
ut
what about
those
who don't love'Him?
One
of
the most important
men in
Japan,
to
us,
is our mailman. Every day we listen
for
the
sound of
the squeaky
brakes on his bicycle. Sometimes we are
disappointed, but
often
we receive just
the letter
we need to inspire us for
the d ay, week
or month. Be sure

that
your
unceasing prayers and continued support are invigorating
to
us.
A
recent letter from
Lydia
was reassuring.
She wrote, It's thrilling
to
hear
of your
endeavors for Christ
in
the
land I love. Even
though
I miss you very much,
God
has given me
happiness
and
duties to
fulfill
here.
he
and Mark
are singing
in the Seminary musical Natural High' ritten
by
Ralph
Carmichael.
Mark is happy
in
his new task as Youth Minister at
the
Montgomery Road Church, Cincinnati.
MARK
and
LYNN LUSBY o f
W i
iamstown, Kentucky have set thei WEDDING
DATE
at
JULY
9,
1971
We
met and learned
to love
Lynn when she came
with
the Ohio Singers.
Paul
David questions,
Why
do
we
divide
the
body
of
Christ?' quoting 1 Cor.
1:10-16) The center of
our
lives is not any form of manmade sect of Christiany,
but
the center
of
our
lives
is
JESUS CHRIST the
HEAD.
As
Christians,
uided by
the Holy Spirit, and inspired by the person of
Jesus
Christ, ^.ill we not concern
ourselves with proclaiming the WORD, JESUS
CHRIST,
instead o interdenominational
bickering.
Did you read Sam Stone's article, Ohayo Shingazu'
n
the January 24th. , 1971
issue of
the
Christian
Standard? Your
prayers and gifts
made
this
tremendous
evang
elistic
effort
possible.
Bill
Miller from Patterson, APE, Dayton, Ohio recomends
that we send
more
groups like
this
one to the
mission fields.
ersonally, we
would
like to see more groups come to Japan if
they
come with the
same
purpose and
zeal as the Ohayo Shingazu.
DON'T
FORGET ASIA Now more than ever, the Orient needs Christ.
Kenneth
A. Stewart, CHRISTIAN STAN DARD, February
14,
1971, page 11) I'm
sure
you
remember
the parable
of
the one lost sheep (Matt. 18:12-14). If
one
sheep were one of your
loved ones,
how
much
time, effort
and money should be
spent to
find
that one
who
is lost? It is not the will of the FATHER that one
of
these should
perish.
I've been saving money from teaching English so that
Paul
and
I
can return State
side for
the two
weddings this summer. We three
will
leave from Haneda Airport
on
June
21st and just the two of
us
will
return
to Japan on
August
31st. Shin Kubono
of Osaka Bible Seminary nill assist at Isahara in our absence. IF YOU WOULD LIKE
FDR

TO VISIT YOUR CHURCH
OR
GROUP DURING THAT PERIOD, WRITE TO
JAPAN

OR THROUGH OUR FORWARDING AGENT.
