Gjennomsnittskirke

I Japan er kirkene ikke så store som i USA. Der er det gjennomsnittlig 35 i hver kirke. Pga få kirkegjengere, må de fleste pastorene arbeide i en vanlig jobb ved siden av. Som du kanskje vet, så er arbeidslivet i Japan litt forskjellig fra Norge, der er det full fres fra morgen til kveld. En pastor har mye ansvar og da er det ganske tungt arbeide. Små menigheter trenger mye ressurser for å kunne betjene seg selv og evanglisere i tillegg. Vi tror at det spesielt trengs nye arbeidere i Japan. Misjonærene løser ikke problemet med å ta over pastorstillinger, men de kan løse problemet med å disippelgjøre og gi ledertrening for barn og unge.

    Disippelgjøring og ledertrening for barn og unge tror jeg er nøkkelen til vekst både i Norge, Japan og andre plasser. Kjempe viktig

    Thank you- Words and Music by Ray Boltz

    I dreamed I went to heaven
    And you were there with me
    We walked upon the streets of gold
    Beside the crystal sea
    We heard the angels singing
    Then someone called your name
    You turned and saw this young man
    And he was smiling as he came

    bvg
    And he said, Friend
    You may not know me now
    And then he said, But wait
    You used to teach my Sunday School
    When I was only eight
    And every week you would say a prayer
    Before the class would start
    And one day when you said that prayer
    I asked Jesus in my heart

    CHORUS:
    Thank you for giving to the Lord
    I am a life that was changed
    Thank you for giving to the Lord
    I am so glad you gave

    Then another man stood before you
    And said remember the time
    A missionary came to your church
    And his pictures made you cry
    You didn’t have much money
    But you gave it anyway
    Jesus took the gift you gave
    And that’s why I am here today

    CHORUS

    One by one they came
    Far as the eye could see
    Each life somehow touched
    By your generosity
    Little things that you had done
    Sacrifices made
    Unnoticed on the earth
    In heaven now proclaimed

    And I know up in heaven
    You’re not supposed to cry
    But I am almost sure
    There were tears in your eyes
    As Jesus took your hand
    And you stood before the Lord
    He said, My child look around you
    Great is your reward

    CHORUS (repeat)

    I am so glad you gave
