Paul wanted to go to Rome to share the gifts of the Spirit.

...And another reason was to receive encouragement by being with them!

...One reason evangelists can continue for a long time is when those who share the Gospel believe in Jesus.

...It's when they see those who believe gradually being transformed by the Spirit and the Word.

...And when those people introduce Jesus to others.

...My pastor is currently a 96-year-old active pastor.

...He is a devout prayer and loves evangelism...and he went on a world mission alone (without understanding English) for 1 year and 8 months.

✳️I'm a church pastor😅
...At the time, I belonged to a conservative denomination...
But after learning about the revivals around the world and how the Holy Spirit is still alive and working today,
after returning to Japan...I held all-night prayer meetings for the sick at church and experienced healing,
and began to emphasize the Holy Spirit...The church was blessed to the point where we held baptism ceremonies every month❗️.
...When I go to Chiba and Tokyo, I come back filled with joy😆
...The loving hospitality of the people of Chiba...😢
I'm encouraged by the 500-watt brightness of the people of Tokyo...I can't stop going to Chiba and Tokyo (lol)💦
...Sometimes I feel discouraged because I can't do much pastoral work...
But I'm encouraged by the passion for missionary work of the people of Okinawa...

…The joy of pastors and missionaries is…seeing you grow in faith,
be transformed into compassionate people, and go out to intercede in prayer and evangelize for those who are perishing. It fills us with gratitude!

Shalom 😃
