One of my desires is to see international visitors meet Christ in Toronto and then return to follow him in their homelands and serve him there.
In 2014, our community developed a good relationship with a young man, D, from Japan, who was here for one year. He loved our community, attended our worship services, and particularly enjoyed listening to worship. He also created a website for us out of thanks for what we meant to him.
While he did not come to faith in Toronto, he is planning to continue his relationship with the church in Japan.
One of our leaders at Faith in Focus grew up in Japan, and his parents are missionaries there and live relatively close to D. Over the Christmas break, our leader was able to introduce D to his dad and brother. Pray that once D is settled in back home, he will begin attending Christian meetings. Pray also that he will come to faith in the near future.
