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.

LATEST

  • Go and Danielle Oishi Prayer Letter: Five Years on the Mission FieldGlory to God! Happy New Year! We truly are starting a new chapter in our ministry, as we had to let go of some of our contacts, including some who were once faithful in our church, and welcome new faces to minister to. We praise God that His mercies are new every morning and that He has plan in it all!

    One of the most obvious ways that God showed us His favor toward the end of last year was by sending us three friends from the Broadview Heights Baptist Church of Broadview Heights, Ohio, at a time when we needed help and encouragement the most. This was an especially challenging month for Bro. L, our only official church member, as this was his final month in Japan before moving back to his home country of Hong Kong. It was amazing to see God use this group to minister to him as he faced some unique struggles this month, as well as to everyone else in our church through our services, activities, and personal visits. With them, we were able to make a special visit with Mr. I to witness to him once again, as well as hold our annual Christmas Musical, where God allowed us to welcome two first-time visitors. Please pray that all three of them would get saved. After the event, we enjoyed a dinner fellowship at a local restaurant with our group from Ohio and Bro. L, Bro. M, and Bro. T from our church. The group departed on December 8, and we praise God for His kindness in sending us these friends, not just to serve Him but as His gift of encouragement to us and our church.

    December 21 was our International Christmas Banquet, as well as Bro. L’s last Sunday at our church. As such, we decided to also make this Bro. L’s sendoff service and had him share a short testimony on how God had worked in his life through our church, concluding our service by having three of our faithful people pray for God’s leading and protection for his future. God gave us a very sweet service with just our regular church family that day. Danielle and I had the honor of driving Bro. L to the airport the next day. Though we will all miss him dearly, we are truly thankful that God led Bro. L to be a part of our church to be such a help and an encouragement to us all for our first two years. We praise God that he has already found a good church in Hong Kong to settle into. Please pray that God would continue to lead and protect Bro. L as he begins a new chapter of life in Hong Kong. On December 24, we held our annual Christmas Eve Cello Concert, where God allowed us to see two returning visitors, followed by our annual Christmas Home Party on December 25, which was joined by two of our faithful young men. We praise God for the way He worked in our ministry once again this Christmas season, the most opportune time to reach Japan with the Gospel.

    Danielle and I celebrated five years since officially arriving on the mission field of Japan on December 4. Though we have faced many mountains and valleys over the course of those years, we can say with even more assurance than ever before that our God is faithful, merciful, and always good. By His grace, He has allowed our support to stay sufficient and our health to stay well. Throughout these five years, God has allowed us to personally see the salvation of 22 souls in Japan and many others through church services and online witnessing, and we are confident that God has worked in the lives of many more through the Gospel tracts we have given out and the many others we have had the privilege of witnessing to. We know that God has much more in store, and we are excited to see His plan continue to unfold in Japan!

    Danielle’s Journey

    Happy New Year! It is so hard to believe we have been in Japan for five years now! December began with a small group from Ohio, whom, I believe, God sent especially for our encouragement. With their help, we held our annual Christmas Musical! It was such a blessing to see not only three of our regulars but also two visitors attend! On Christmas Eve, during the Cello Concert, it was an encouragement to see both Ms. Y, who had only attended once on a Wednesday, and Sis. E, whom we have not seen since last Christmas! This is so exciting, because it is a direct answer to our prayer for God to send ladies to our ministry! Thank you for always remembering to keep us in your prayers! It truly is amazing to see God answer the requests we have made, in His perfect time.

    Your friends and co-laborers to Japan,

    Go and Danielle Oishi
