<\/a><\/p>\nHere are some testimonies after the Fukushima training:<\/p>\n
\u201cWe found a 15 year old kid studying and at the library and shared
\nwith him, he readily received Christ.\u201d\u00a0(Two teenage boys)<\/p>\n
\u201cI visited a woman at the hospital who was fighting breast cancer.
\nTears filled her eyes. After sharing the manga she received Christ.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cMeeting a woman at Starbucks who is in medical school. I shared and
\nshe prayed to receive Christ right there.\u201d\u00a0(Young man)
\n
\n\u201cI shared the manga with a 25 year old woman who related to the main
\ncharacter very powerfully. She said her mother did not love her and
\npreferred her younger brother, and had said it would have better for
\nher not to be born\u2026This young woman wanted to pray the salvation
\nprayer and wept, we also prayed she could fully experience God\u2019s love
\nand forgive her mother.\u201d (Young woman)<\/p>\n
\u201cThe second time I shared RiskRide I saw powerfully how deeply this
\ntool can penetrate the heart and share Christ. I\u2019m thankful to God I
\nwas able to discuss things I normally could never discuss.\u201d (26 year\u00a0old woman)<\/p>\n
\u201cThis awakened me to the fact that I always have a special opportunity
\nto touch lives. In doing RiskRide I learned that a middle school
\nstudent I knew well had been habitually cutting herself. Going through
\nthe manga she freely opened herself to me.\u201d\u00a0 (26 year old woman)<\/p>\n
I was doubtful that a 72 year old woman would be interested in a
\nmanga, but she carefully read (out loud) the entire booklet. Afterward
\nwe prayed together and she wept, and clearly uttered \u201cAmen.\u201d
\n(62 year old woman)<\/p>\n
\u201cI shared with a 13 year old girl who doesn\u2019t read manga, or anything
\nmuch, but she happily read this one and said it was so easy to
\nunderstand! I look forward to sharing it with many more!\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI shared the manga with a girl who had struggle much and cut her
\nwrists about 10 times in the past. In the seven questions she began to
\nweep severely. I had never known she had so much pain. Several of us
\nsurrounded her and prayed for her.\u201d\u00a0 (30 year old woman)<\/p>\n
\u201cI met my own brother, we both live separate lives and hardly talk, he
\nshared with me that in college he was lonely and discouraged and
\nconsidered suicide many times, even now when the stress at work it
\ntough he goes back to thinking of suicide. Through RR he really opened
\nhis heart.\u201d \u00a0 (Middle age man)<\/p>\n
\u201cSharing with a 29 year old woman, that I had gone to school with, she
\nrevealed that she related deeply to the main character of the manga.
\nShe opened her heart wide to me. She loved the story and wanted a copy
\nfor her sister. She didn\u2019t get saved but I feel we began something
\nspecial to build on. This manga gave me the courage to step out and I
\nam grateful.\u201d\u00a0 (29 year old woman)<\/p>\n
\u201cWe approached a 12 year old girl who seemed nervous but as soon as
\nshe saw the manga she relaxed. We have had chance to share with many
\nwho have never been near a church or had any exposure to the Gospel!
\nThis is the first time we have shared and it\u2019s pretty simple.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI shared with a former high school classmate and was pretty nervous
\nmyself but they believed in Christ and prayed for salvation.!\u00a0 (Young woman)<\/p>\n
\u201cI met with someone who had been to church long ago to share the
\nmanga, and she brought a friend. She opened her heart and explained
\nhow she had been hurt in the past and thought it would be better if
\nshe didn\u2019t \u2018exist\u2019. Her friend was deeply moved by the story and I was
\nso glad to see she herself come to church the following Sunday!\u201d
\n(Teenage girls)<\/p>\n
\u201cI shared the booklet with my older sister who is 19 and we had a
\nheart-ful discussion like maybe never before!\u201d\u00a0(\u00a0Teenage girl)<\/p>\n
In a temporary housing unit I visited an 82 year old man, an evacuee
\nfrom the radiation zone that I had been worried about. I had boldness
\nto discuss many things with him because of the manga. He spoke to me
\nof many things in his life and began to smile.\u201d\u00a0 (Middle age woman)<\/p>\n
I shared with a 50 year old woman the booklet and she thought it was a
\nfantastic intervention for suicide prevention and said it should be
\nutilized in public schools, plus wanted her high school daughter to
\nexperience it as well. She had to go but wanted desperately to hear
\nmore about a \u201cjoy that never ends\u201d. \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 (Middle age woman)<\/p>\n
When I shared with a junior high school girl at her home. She was
\ncompletely absorbed in the story. At the end of our time she wanted to
\npray with me. \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 (Young\u00a0woman)<\/p>\n
\u201cI was scared to share and prayed all week that God would show me who
\nto share the manga with. I thought of an acquaintance that had failed
\nentrance exams at high school and gave him a call. He read the manga
\nin under three minutes! But then he answered every question
\nthoughtfully. At the end He prayed with me to receive Christ!\u201d
\n(Young man)<\/p>\n
\u201cA woman who read it skeptically at the end concluded, \u201cI guess that
\nkind of joy can only be found in God and Jesus\u2026\u201d.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
