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: Our Church’s First Camp

    Go and Danielle Oishi Prayer Letter: Our Church's First CampHallelujah! Our church plant is going strong, as the Lord has given us many unique opportunities to strengthen our relationship within our current church body, as well as with those we are trying to reach in our city. We are especially excited to give our first report covering our church plant’s very first overnight camp activity!

    On June 5, two of the young men who have been faithfully attending our church invited me and some of the other men at the church to join them for kickboxing. A total of five of us trained at a nearby park, allowing us to also have great conversations that gave me opportunities to give Biblical guidance in areas where I would not have been able to hear otherwise. This turned into our church’s first men’s activity, and I am looking forward to planning more activities like this to strengthen our bonds as a family in Christ and give those who attend our church more opportunities to fellowship with one another in a land where fellowship opportunities with other believers are often few and far between. Our relationships with those we have been trying to reach has also been strengthened this month. The KA family, who lives next door, has three children who address my wife and me as friends and get excited every time they see us. We pray that God would give us an opportunity to take more time with them soon. God has already given us such an opportunity with the O family, who lives across the street from us. They are a young Japanese couple who are big fans of the United States, especially its culture. We have been developing a relationship with them over this past year, and we are thrilled that they accepted an invitation to have dinner in our home to celebrate the 4th of July! Please pray that these relationships will lead to these families coming to Christ as their Saviour!

    One of our young men, who has attended our church since its very beginning, graduated high school this month, and it was a great privilege to be able to attend his graduation on June 14 (atypical for Japan, but he attended an international school that followed a different schedule). He will be moving to Australia to begin university in July, and we praise God that we were able to connect him over video call with one of our fellow FBMI missionary friends, Bro. Tingson, who will visit him once he arrives and connect him with a likeminded church! The timing of his departure from Japan is a part of what gave us the idea to push to host our church’s first overnight activity this month. God has given us a very strong core of faithful believers in our church, and we wanted to create an opportunity for our church to solidify our bond. From this, the Church Family Retreat was born, a church family vacation with brothers and sisters in Christ to strengthen our fellowship and to refresh us spiritually. After researching multiple venues and planning extensively, God allowed us to book a beautiful glamping site with an owner who was extremely accommodating to our group, even willing to set up an outdoor tent for services and receive permission from the neighborhood on our behalf for the potential noise. God also allowed us to book Pastor Steve Carter of the Akigawa Baptist Church to preach for us, and including our families, God gave us a total of 10 campers for our first retreat! We left together after services on July 22, spent the night, and returned on July 23, with two amazing preaching services and many memorable activities. It was encouraging to hear that the preaching was what everyone enjoyed the most, followed closely by the fellowship. We praise God that another event was added to our calendar that our church can now look forward to annually!

    On the day following, July 24, Danielle’s mom came for her fourth visit to Japan! We are so blessed to be able to still see our family often, even after moving to our field of service. During her visit, we were able to visit my aunt who lives on the other side of the Tokyo Bay, as well as have a good visit with Mr. I, whom we have been visiting, praying for, and witnessing to since December 2023. Please pray that God would allow us to patiently continue to witness to souls and grow the believers gathered in our church plant!

    Danielle’s Journey

    This month has been very busy, but full of blessings. We began the month with preparations for camp and the excitement of our first overnight church activity! The lady who has recently missed so often due to health and work has returned and, on her very first Sunday back, submitted her registration for camp! It was such an encouragement to have her there with us! The camp was truly a refreshing time to spend together with our church family. It was encouraging to see everyone enjoy both free time and worship together. Though camp was just two days and one night, I believe the memories that were made will truly become treasures to us all. The very next day, we picked up my mom from the airport and thoroughly enjoyed our time with her here! I am so thankful for my parents who have always prayed for us and encouraged me to serve the Lord anywhere He leads us, even when it is thousands of miles away from them. Thank you also for remembering to keep us in your thoughts and prayers; that truly means so much to us!

    Your friends and co-laborers to Japan,

    Go and Danielle Oishi
