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 First Missions-Emphasis Month

    Go and Danielle Oishi Prayer Letter: Our First Missions-Emphasis MonthPraise the Lord! God is always good, even when our circumstances are not! Though we chose not to include these details in our previous praise report in hopes that these circumstances were not permanent, we are sad to report that Bro. K, whom we have spoken much about in our letters, has suddenly chosen to turn against my wife and me and has cut off all communication with us and our church. We have not heard from him in over a month. Please pray that his faith would be restored. Around the same time, we found out that Bro. L, our only official church member, will be moving back to his home country of Hong Kong and has started his process of moving out of Japan. Please pray for him as he makes this difficult transition. We are thankful that God sent him to us to help us during our first two years in Kisarazu! As our church currently meets on Sundays in one of his buildings, we will soon have to find a new place to meet. Please pray that God would open new doors for us.

    In the midst of our heartaches, God has given us much to praise Him for as well. On the first of this month, Bro. M, one of our faithful young men with whom I have been meeting one on one every week to aid in his discipleship, has completed his written salvation testimony! He also realized his need to be Scripturally baptized, based on the timing of when he truly came to trust Christ as his personal Saviour. Please pray that God would give him the courage to make this decision soon, as we will be going over this subject in depth. On November 6, Danielle’s visa extension was approved—this time a five-year visa, which is what we needed to apply for her permanent residence in Japan! We praise God for this answered prayer. On November 7 & 20, we were able to spend even more time with the O family, our neighbors who are not yet saved, spending time out shopping with them and sharing a meal in their home. I was also able to spend much time with Mr. I, a lost gentleman in our city whom we have now known for two years, on the phone this month, as he seems excited about our upcoming Christmas events. We praise God for these new doors that are beginning to open after a few have been closed. Please pray that Mr. I and the O family will get saved!

    God led us to respond to our recent battles by holding our church plant’s first Missions-Emphasis Month. Our church plant currently supports three missionary families, and we praise God that, for the very first time, our church was able to host one of them in person on November 16! This couple is a personal friend to my wife and me and serves in a creative-access nation. They were used of God to bring a great challenge to our church and much-needed encouragement to my wife and me personally. We showed videos of our other supporting missionaries on the other weeks. Please pray that God would give our church a strong burden for missions! Please pray that God would use our upcoming Christmas outreaches to reach many new souls! May all of you have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! May we all stay encouraged in Him!

    Danielle’s Journey

    Bro. L, our church member, as well as the owner of the guesthouse where we meet, was out of the country this month, and we were faced with a unique challenge. There were guests who were scheduled to check out before our church service and check back in afterwards, which is fairly common. However, these guests took the key with them, and with Bro. L away, we were locked out! I circled around the house looking for a way in. Everything was locked tight, aside from one window that was not just unlocked, but completely left open! I quickly climbed onto the air-conditioning unit and into the window that God had left open for us and was able to unlock the door from the inside! Due to the current situation of our church here, we have had several lower Sundays. However, for the first time in almost two years, we held a service with only my husband and me on November 23. I prepared a meal for a full room and folded bulletins for each seat set out as always, and though no one else attended, God met with us. For me personally, it was a reminder of why we do what we do and Whom I am truly working hard to serve. I love the work that God has called us to, not just for the people we hope to reach, but for the God we get to serve!

    Your friends and co-laborers to Japan,

    Go and Danielle Oishi
