Philippines is the only practicing Christian in Asia. I’ve noticed no matter how impoverished most the people, I have seen their faith in God is phenomenal.

[@mayukiko]

Sorry to tell you in Southeast Asia the most practicing REAL Christian gospel is East Timor. Filipino most youngsters are turned away and chasing what they want. Why I say so? Because I see most youngsters are carrying the cross without knowing the real gospel. And East Timor before came into a country they are know even more who is Jesus.

Don't leave out Koreans:)

A new subscriber here, Ive been watching your videos about your missionary journey in Japan. Im also interested in doing missionary work in Japan as well. Hope I could get more ideas on your videos. Thank you

[@hereiamgod]

If my videos can help you in anyway, that would make me very happy.

[@codybritts8195]

No way! Is that Pastor Ricky's church in Yokohama?! I'm an upcoming missionary to Japan myself, going full time after a two year internship in Japan. During my time, I visited Yokohama alongside my team and met Pastor Ricky, who was a former student at our ministry's English and discipleship school!

Man your skills are off the chain. Beautiful video.

[@hereiamgod]

Wow. Thank you so much! 🙂

[@coll2315]

May God repeat for you what He did for Daniel and his friends when they needed to learn Chaldean (Daniel chapter 1). Really like the quality of your videos. 🙂

[@hereiamgod]

Thank you for reminding me of this chapter. It was encouraging for me to read this morning. 🙂

[@johnejapan]

I always enjoy your videos--often a fun combination of humor, personal experience, and facts about Japan. Congratulations again on your first two years in Japan.

[@hereiamgod]

Thank you John, I try to make them somewhat enjoyable to watch. I really appreciate your encouragement.

@@hereiamgodI spend decades in Paris, ending up sharing the Gospel with Muslims for the last 10 years. In 2019, before the C-d, God asked me, in audible voice, to sell everything and to quit Paris as soon as possible. Me voilà in Taiwan , my home county. Because of the study of Islam, I began to attend the traditional Catholic church in Latin in Paris. In Japon, I have found one, and go there regularly in Osaka, and might go to their church in Tokyo, soon. Really rejoiced to see western young man still in fire for the Christ, for the French have totally apostatized.

Hello Tim. I pray the Lord is blessing your ministry. I hope to be out there doing missionary work in Okinawa in the next year or two. I would love to connect with you just to get some feedback on what I should expect. Thank you for your content.

Hello everyone, God bless you all. My name is Angel. I would love to visit Japan, I live in America, and I didn't know there was a Christian Church there. I was asking the Lord about it, and one day, one of these videos popped up on my KZbin feed. I've been doing photography for a year now and was watching videos of people going to Japan for their photography journey, but I just didn't want to go only for photography. I'm so glad that there is a church there, so if the Lord is willing, I can one day go to Japan. May the Lord continue to bless your ministry. hope to meet you all someday. Love u in the Lord. By the way, I've been saved for 18 years now. I attended Calvary Chapel of Grace and Truth in Yonkers new york.

The True Gospel in True Revival ! Realize you are a sinner being sorry. Sin is lying, evil thoughts, lust,etc. Therefore, do not trust in your own works to go to heaven because you realize, being a sinner, you cannot offer the perfect blood sacrifice that God requires to pay for sin. Instead, believe, meaning fully trust, that in Christ's love for you, on the cross, His one perfect blood sacrifice, when Christ bled, suffered and died, in your place, paid for your sins in full, past, present and future ! Believe that Jesus rose from the dead ! Believe Jesus is God Almighty, God the Son, alive for evermore ! And believe that the sinless blood of Jesus Christ is what cleanses you from all sin, which purifies your soul ! Then the Lord Jesus will forgive you,save you from hell and give you eternal life ! And you will be sealed with the Holy Spirit who will dwell within you forever! And thank Jesus ! Rom.3:25,5:8,9,10:9 Rev.1:5,Ephes.1:7,13,4:30, Heb.10:10-14,19,38,39 I John 5:7,13,20

Hey I’ve been following the content for a while keep it up man and try to upload more 🙌. God bless

[@hereiamgod]

Thanks! These video take between 40-120 man hours (depending on the type) to create, so it’s been difficult for me lately. I’m hoping to do more in the future, since I have some ideas I want to try out. We will see. 🙂

[@violetmwaura730]

Thank you so much for the update. I will be praying for you. Especially for the language part. May the Holy Spirit teach you.

I have such respect for someone who spread the gospel in a country where it was in the past so challenging and where Christians were so much persecuted and killed. I know times have changed and mayble people like you will put in their hearts the message of our savior to us all, Jesus Christ, Amen 🙏💚

I’m trying my best 🙂

Where is Friday Terrace located? I am a missionary in training & will spend the summer in the Japanese countryside for the second time working with a church there! I would love the opportunity to visit other ministries!

[@hereiamgod]

It’s in Meguro Tokyo, if you email me I could share more details with you. 🙂

I want to share a story. My husband and I lived in Okinawa for nearly a decade and while he was off traveling to other countries doing exercises, I was serving at the local nursing home, my neighbors in our village and falling in love with the Okinawan people. We had 3 babies there in our village house over that time and when I came to leave, I left kicking and screaming in my heart. I wanted to stay forever. They are my people. Back to the US we went. It took 9 years of a bad attitude and grieving to finally give up my beloved island and learn to be content wherever God had put me. That same week, my husband got an opportunity to go back to Okinawa even though is was not active military anymore. How big is our God?! And what a great sense of humor! So not only will I get to go back this summer, but all my uminchu will be able to see the babies I had there, now 9 years older! They too can fall in love with the Okinawans. We will be at Fuji on 4th of July weekend and I would love to come visit Friday Terrace while in mainland! We have trekked all over Hokkaido down to Osaka and Iwakuni and beyond. People say sharing the gospel with Japanese in hard but it's not. They already understand there is an unseen spiritual world. Europeans generally think we are just a combination of chemicals evolving [in a mathematically impossible stew over millions of years.] The Japanese are ready to hear Truth and once they abandon the fear of social consequences, they are willing to step out of the mental cage! So me and my kids are coming! We have love in our hearts and bibles in our hands ready to share Jesus. Us being able to come back to Japan was a gift given to me by my loving heavenly Father! And I'm not going to waste an opportunity to tell people how I got back home! 🙌🏼 He is so so good!

これを翻訳しなければならなかったのですが、素晴らしい話がありました。ある日、私が車で家に向かっていたとき、突然主が霊において私のところに来られました。私は彼をとても身近に感じました。私が彼にラジオでどんな曲でもかけてくれるように頼めば、きっと私の信仰を祝福してくれるだろう、と私は知っていました。 それで私は言いました、「わかりました、主よ、「ニルヴァーナまでにありのままで来てください」を演奏してください。 ラジオをつけると、その場で曲が流れ始めました、完璧に… 私は滝のように悪寒に襲われ、泣きながら震え始めました。 彼は私の私道で10分間私と一緒にいました。車から降りるまで。 それから数か月後、私は驚くべき祈りがはるかに頻繁に答えられるようになりました。それは、祈るときに疑うことをやめるのに役立ち、聖書の指示に従うことができたからです。 6年経った今でも、イエスの御名によって祈りが聞き入れられます。

Trust in Jesus. Romans 10:13💕

[@user-wf2xt5ez3x]

If Brittni De La mora went to Japan would that cause a Japanese Revival?

[@AlexejSvirid]

"Jesus" means "Jehovah is salvation". This is the name of Christ real christians are hated for. "HalleluJah" means "Praze Jah" (Jehovah). Psalm 83: 18: "That men may know that thou, whose name alone is JEHOVAH, art the most high over all the earth." The problem is Devil runs the world. He is lier and murderer. That's why we've got the Gospel about the God's kingdom. Jehovah would put everything in order. The dead will be resurected and we'll meet our beloved ones again! :-)

[@H_elloo]

What exactly do you say about Shinto and Buddhism that are important to Japanese people? Do you combine Christianity with those or do something else?

[@hereiamgod]

Since most Japanese people are not really ‘religious’, I have not felt the need to address specifically the religion of Shinto/Buddhism (in the way that I would address Islam to a practicing Muslim) when talking to Japanese about Christianity.

[@H_elloo]

@@hereiamgod Thank you for your answer. I was wondering if Shinto can still be respected with all the gods when we know about the Ten Commandments in Christianity. I see those things as an important part of the Japanese heritage. Take care!
