Last Sunday as I was walking to Daikanyama station from our church, I saw a man wearing a T-shirt with the words “waiting for the waves” I sure wish that I had taken a picture at the time.
This really struck me. On the one hand I have my T-shirt with the promise I hold in my heart saying “The waves will never stop coming”. Now here is this Japanese gentleman declaring that he is waiting for the waves to come.
This month on the 26th we will commission Gary along with his wife, Naoko, their son Kai, and fellow team members as a team to pioneer our new YWAM work in Tohoku!!!!
The beauty of this is that they will not be moving up as a team but going in waves – Gary, Naoko and Kai in August, Tom and Rosa in October, another couple next year and two others are in the process of applying to their team. They will be gong up in waves and now I have the assurance that the Japanese are ready and waiting for these waves of precious people to come.
I certainly had none of this in my mind when I first saw that T-shirt hanging up in the used clothing store back in Shinagawa all those years ago.
