Salvation and Service Testimony

Growing up in a home where no particular faith was practiced or encouraged, most of my childhood years were spent not having any concept of who God was. Through a series of events that took place in my junior high years, I had become bitter at any concept of religion and became an aggressive atheist. I remember very vividly mocking those around me who professed faith in anything supernatural. As a public school teen with no direction in life nor any sense of moral standards, my life was headed to waste very quickly.

One night, while chatting with a community of online gaming friends, one of them began trying to witness to me. After countless times of turning him away, I reluctantly agreed to let him share the Gospel with me, succumbing to his persistence and zeal. Since I had no concept of God at the time, this young man took me through the entire story from God creating the entire universe, to the fall of man, to Christ’s death on the cross for our redemption. Despite myself being known to refuse placing faith in anything supernatural, something supernatural took place in my heart that evening. My soul was overwhelmed when I heard of this loving God Who could save me from my sins. Not being able to deny the Truth that was presented to me, it was that night as a 13-year-old teenager that I trusted Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior.

A year later, God had moved in the heart of my Karate instructor at the time to invite my family to a friend day at his church. Thankfully, it was a KJV, Independent, Fundamental Baptist church where I could grow in the faith. I was baptized there by immersion. Shortly after, I became an active member of their youth group. It was at my first summer teen camp that I surrendered my life to God. The second year, I surrendered to full-time ministry and to preach the Word of God for the rest of my life. That following fall in a missions conference, God gave me a specific, undeniable call to preach the Gospel in Japan when it was revealed to me that it was one of the least evangelized nations in the entire world. This call was confirmed by recommendation and counsel of my youth pastor and my late pastor.

I met my wife Danielle at Bible college. By the time I had met her, she already had a love for the Japanese culture and a heart for missions as God had already used her on the mission field in the Philippines while she was in high school. There is no doubt in my mind that she is fully persuaded that she is called to me, and thus is also called to be a missionary. There is neither any doubt in my mind that God has called my wife and I as a team to glorify God and to preach the Gospel in Japan for the rest of our lives.

Salvation and Service Testimony

I have been blessed with a good, godly heritage and have had the privilege of growing up in a Christian home. At the age of 4, I attended a Vacation Bible School where I remember a lady teaching us verses. Although I don’t remember exactly what was said, that was when my family believed I got saved; but since I did not remember much of it, I struggled with doubt for the next 4 years.

I faithfully attended Wednesday night kids class at Faith Baptist Church, and it was there I accepted Christ as my Saviour and got the surety I needed. After hearing a story where a child won her friend to the Lord, we were asked if we knew for sure that we would go to Heaven one day. I raised my hand and they took me to the side. That night, as an 8-year-old child, I prayed and asked Jesus to come into my heart and take me to Heaven one day. I was baptized by immersion shortly after to show outwardly what had happened inwardly.

Growing up, I had always loved and looked forward to Missions Conferences at my church. I thought how amazing it would be to become a missionary, to go across the world and tell those who had never even heard the name of Jesus and about His love for them. I surrendered to go and to do whatever God had planned for my life as a teenager at youth conference. As for a calling to the mission field, I believe that happened when I agreed to marry my husband who was called to the mission field. My calling is to my husband, to love, encourage, and support him in whatever amazing thing God has called him to do. I am so blessed to be able to follow and support such a godly man.

  • Go and Danielle Oishi Prayer Letter: A New Believer’s First Camp

    Go and Danielle Oishi Prayer Letter: A New Believer's First CampPraise the Lord! This has been an unusually exciting month for both our family and our church, with a lot of travel and opportunities to minister to people in faraway places. We praise God that we are also seeing a faithful and excited core group of people solidifying here at the Kisarazu Hope Baptist Church. Thank you for being used of God to invest the prayers and resources to make this all possible!

    We started the month strong with another first-time visitor on our first Sunday service of this month, the day after we landed back in Japan from our short Monday-Friday document trip to the U.S. Due to time zones, this meant landing back in Japan on Saturday, but we praise God that He allowed us to continue not to miss a single Sunday ministering to our young, growing church plant and for giving us the strength to still have a great Sunday after our trip! On the Monday following, I had the joy of taking one of our young men, Bro. K, to an annual Young Adults’ Retreat, hosted by the Senri Newtown Baptist Church, our initial training ground in Japan. This was his very first Christian camp-type event, and especially as a newer, growing believer, it was encouraging to see his joy and excitement at making many new Christian friends his age from all over Japan, where it is difficult to find even one Christian friend in their own city, let alone one that shares our same convictions and are in a similar season of life. God used one of the messages preached to lead Bro. K in a decision to become a fruitful Christian and not just someone who enjoys the blessings of salvation! This decision prompted him to begin meeting with me one on one every Saturday for a Bible-study curriculum, in addition to his faithful attendance on Sunday and Wednesdays, to aid in his discipleship. This is a curriculum I am currently developing that is specifically tailored for someone with zero former background in Christianity to give them a firm Biblical foundation of understanding in what they have placed or are considering placing their faith in. Our first session was on May 10, and the Holy Spirit is doing a very evident work in his life, as he will now speak often about how much he is enjoying his personal walk with God as he makes prayer and Bible reading a part of his everyday life! Please pray that God would do something special with this young man!

    On that same day, we visited the TA family who came as visitors to our special Christmas services this past December when their youngest son and oldest daughter trusted Christ as their Saviour. They are a family of six living in our city, whom God has allowed us to befriend. Since no children came to our Easter service in April, we decided to visit families whom we are trying to reach with the candy-filled eggs and a Gospel presentation written for children that we had prepared to give any children who would come. Our souvenirs from the U.S. also gave us a good opportunity to visit families who are more challenging to make an opportunity to visit. We enjoyed great visits, learning more about these families. Please pray that they would trust Christ as their Saviour and make their way back to our church!

    On May 19, Danielle and I celebrated our seven-year wedding anniversary. I am thankful beyond words for her faithfulness as my wife and for our amazing God, Who brought us and keeps us together. We truly love our life and ministry together! We enjoyed a wonderful three-day vacation to the city of Nagoya to celebrate, which was a much-needed time of truly reconnecting and refreshing after how much our church plant has come to demand our time and attention! Another great blessing this month was the salvation of a dear family member on May 24, a major answer to prayer! We were also blessed to have some of our college friends from the U.S. visit our church during their trip here on our last two Sundays this month. We finished this month visiting a former church regular who had since moved to Tokyo with Pastor Steve Carter, a trusted missionary friend who is closer to his area. Thank you for your prayers and for your part in all of this!

    Danielle’s Journey

    We began our month spending the first couple of days in America. Though we were there for paperwork, it was such a blessing to get to see our families again and to spend quality time with them. Once we returned home, Go took one of our faithful young men to the Kansai region of Japan to attend a Young Adults’ Retreat. It was so encouraging to hear how he had grown so much in such a short time and to hear of his new desire to make his life count for Christ. This month, we also celebrated our seventh wedding anniversary. I’m so thankful for my husband, who goes above and beyond to show me that I’m loved and to take care of me in the most thoughtful ways possible. I’m so happy and blessed to be married to my best friend, and I love this life that we get to live together, doing anything and everything the Lord would have us do in the center of His will. Thank you so much for always remembering to keep us in your prayers. That means so much to us.

    Your friends and co-laborers to Japan,

    Go and Danielle Oishi
