KINGDOM MATH

As I was spending time with God this morning I was reminded of a phrase that my old boss use to say. “Put the people where the people are.” After God reminder me of this, He began to show me the people He is sending us to in Japan. Did you know that Tokyo is the most populated city in the world with 8,336,599 people within 845 mi². It’s the home of the next summer Olympics where they’re expecting more then half a million people to attend the event daily for two weeks. It is quite literally “where the people are”. Japan has a population of 126,520,036 with less then 1% claiming to know Jesus. It is within the 10/40 window where less then 10% of global missionaries are reaching. It currently is called “a missionary’s graveyard.” Japan is by definition one of the largest unreached people groups in the world. The next question you may be asking is, “well that’s awesome you’re going where the people are but how will your small team reach that many people?” That was mine and we have dreams, ideas, plans. But God without hesitation showed me in the Bible where time and time again that within His timing and His plan, He showed up as the God of multiplication. From multiplying food, to defeating large armies with His small ones (including breathing life into an army of dry bones!), and making a nation out of Abraham who miraculously bore a son in his old age. My God is a God of multiplication, a God who breathes life into graveyards. He is who Abraham called “God-Yireh” meaning God sees to it. From a place of obedience and offering, God sees to it, God multiplies, God provides. I believe without a doubt that God has called our family and team to go and He will see to it. He will open eyes, hearts and minds. A place where the people are, He will also be. He can do a lot with little. As we begin to step out we are believing God for more encounters, salvation's in Japan, financial provision to go and remain with the people, and a covering of prayer and community. He will see to it.
