On October 10 and 11, the Tokyo UBF Autumn Disciple Conference was held at the center under the theme of “Hope.”
On the first day, having received much grace through the Word, Sion H. delivered the first message, “The God of Hope” (Romans 15:1-13). In the afternoon, everyone wrote and shared their testimonies together, sharing grace together in the Word.
On the second day, Missionary Daniel J. delivered the Sunday worship message titled “Be an Example to the Flock” (1 Peter 5:1-14). In the afternoon, Sister Mo took the shepherd pledge. She testified that through Bible study, the Word of God entered into her life, and as she applied the Word to her daily life and prayed, she came to experience God. Although people around her who do not believe in Jesus praise her efforts for becoming a university faculty member at the age of 29, she knows it was nothing but a miracle accomplished by God’s help. Sister Mo expressed gratitude for the love of the missionaries and the church that have helped her until now, and she made a pledge to humbly carry out the mission God has entrusted to her in the future. We pray that Sister Mo, as a professor shepherd, will be faithful not only in research and teaching, but also in carrying out the mission of raising disciples.
We pray that, as we believe in and rely on the God of hope, we may never despair or give up in any circumstance, and that by following Jesus, the Good Shepherd in Chief, we may humbly serve His flock and live the life of exemplary shepherds.
