Kobe Hanshin Earthquake anniversary







5:46 am, Tuesday, Jan. 17th. Very cold. Middle of winter season. Trapped in my apartment for 2 hours. Later rescued by a next-door couple who I met for the first and last time. This happened 15 years ago, but the memories are still clear because it was when God spoke to me, " You are ready to go because you know wh...e...re you are going but what about the others? Around you, people are dying without even hearing about Me." In the midst of deep misery, I heard God's voice. Returned to the Philippines a few days after the earthquake but promised God I will return to Kobe in His time. Ten years later, March 2005, God sent me back here to do my share of helping spread the good news to many more Japanese. What a joy to see friends and students from 1994-95 now walking in the Lord, attending church meetings and Bible studies. What a joy to see many more students knowing God through the Bible times in classes! God is eternally good!!!
