I’m a Christian in the US who’s been working on my Japanese for a few years. This is a delightful find 😁

さきさん、こんにちは。同胞日本人クリスチャンとして、さきさんが公にイエス様のご誕生の意味をシェアしておられる勇姿をみて、感銘を受けています。さきさんがおっしゃるように、現在では私たちはどこにいてもイエス様のことを証することができる環境にあります。その環境を善用することで福音の光が耀き出でることを、このチャンネルを通して目の当たりにしています。I am so proud of you in Christ. 応援しています。

It's strange that while you gain more freedom, Western Christians are slowly being more and more restricted, with persecution increasing.

I just stumble upon your channel and this is exactly what I needed !! I want to learn Japanese and as a Christian I love to use content that can uplift me in my faith. Thank you so much. I'll be following you for now on 😀😁

Just as you said, this is the best season for us to share the gospel to those who haven't met Jesus yet. I just found your channel today, but I'll be rooting for you, praying it will become a place for spiritual growth both for you and anyone who comes across it (and Japanese language growth, which i hope works on me too!) Any video format you choose is alright cause it's serving its purpose, so don't worry! Love from Argentina ❤

[@rasi2020]

Saki-san, you are a true apostle of modern time! Especially in Japan the martyrs of the ancient time had to go through absolute cruel suffering - so your work is in a sense a continuation of what they did keeping the faith living secretly for more than 200 hundred years. That was a true miracle - and would have been impossible without Saki-san, you are a true apostle of modern time! Especially in Japan the martyrs of the ancient time had to go through absolute cruel suffering - so your work is in a sense a continuation of what they did keeping the faith living secretly for more than 200 hundred years.

日本のクリスマスはアメリカのクリスマスの文化を持ってきたものですので、なんかアメリカ人が実の理由「なんで私たちがクリスマスを祝っています」教えてませんでした。それでも、信者と信者ではないのために父なる神は一人だけの息子を下さいましたよね。 でもね、聞く時ならば「なんでクリスマスを祝う」答えます。

[@Smougda]

Americans are protestants, so they probably hate what Catholics do of putting a figure of the virgin and the baby Jesus. Also all these thing of putting a tree and such is just a pagan anglo germanic tradition, promoted by the media of Anglo-Saxon countries.

こんにちは（翻訳機を使いました）私、深刻な悩みがあってこのようにコメントします。 私がもし無礼な部分がありましたら、あらかじめご了承ください。 私は韓国で教会に22年以上通いました。 しかし、教会の温かさや愛や神様に対して確信を持つことは難しいです。 まるで冷たくて非難に満ちた韓国社会の縮小版を見ているようです。 私は日本やアメリカの教会がどうなのか知りたいのですが、私が旅行に行って家々を訪ねることしか答えがないですよね？ どう思いますか？

[@sakitonihongo]

Thank you so much for supporting this channel. Your support truly encourages me. And thank you for sharing your struggles with me. It must be so difficult to feel that way while continuing to attend a church in Korea. This is something I’ve seen in both Japan and the U.S. - churches can vary so much, and unfortunately, there are even cult-like groups that claim to be Christian churches. Such groups are not part of the body of Christ, so it’s no surprise that they are full of issues. Even in genuine churches, there’s no such thing as a perfect one, just like the churches we read about in the New Testament. However, within these gatherings, we return to the Word of God, encourage one another, and come together as a church. As you mentioned, experiencing churches in Japan or America firsthand might give you a better understanding, but as I said earlier, churches can be so different depending on the place. That’s why, as your sister in Christ, I am praying that in Korea, you will find a church - even if it’s not perfect - that is overflowing with Christ’s love and grounded in Him. 🤍

[@CameronMurphy-e3l]

​@sakitonihongo amen ! I myself am from America and was led to your channel by holy spirit I've been seeking the lord on learning japanese because I plan on taking a trip there eventually and yeah , but like I said I'm from. America , I got saved 4 years ago and have gone to many churches where I've been rejected but have also had great times with brothers and sisters and have learned tons but some brothers and sisters in christ may have a devoted heart to what the lord desires in the church but at the same time they may not have received the proper revelation from the spirit on how to treat others in a biblical manner because like you said no church is perfect but we are indeed all being perfected into the image of christ
