Bible Study - Who is John?

Yesterday at Sophia I was able to have lunch with Maria and some of my favorite girls! :) After lunch I had a Bible study with Nami. She is most genuine and loving person I know in Japan. I met Nami at an English lunch the second week we were here. Her Aunt is a Catholic nun and she is really interested in religion. I was feeling so sick the day that I met her. I didn't want to be at school that day and I didn't want to take the time to get to know her. Luckily, I did and she is amazing! God allows perfection in our weakness and that day I was able to share the Good News with Nami. Praise the Lord! I now have a new sister in Christ! :) She was so eager to say the prayer, talk to God, and become a Christian. I actually doubted her interest and questioned if she was sure that was what she wanted four times before I prayed with her. Nami is our 'woman at the well' and inspiration to our team. She continues to ask questions about the Bible and its meaning. She also brings new friends with her every time we meet. She is a great friend and a huge blessing in my life.

We are currently studying the book of John. Yesterday I asked her to read the first chapter and then we would talk about it. I was reading along side her in my Bible, finished, looked over and found her already in chapter three! She loves reading. Please pray that Nami would continue to have such an incredible desire to know the Lord.

During our Bible study Nami asked me who John was. She knew that he wasn't Christ - in fact she point to the scripture where it was stated that he wasn't Christ. So her question then to me was: "John is not Christ. If he is not Christ then who is he?" Her innocence is so sincere and touching. I am looking forward to meeting her again for lunch and studying John 1-5.

Thank you for your prayers and support.

In His Love,
