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: Twelve Consecutive Months of First-Time Visitors

    Go and Danielle Oishi Prayer Letter: Twelve Consecutive Months of First-Time VisitorsPraise the Lord! This month has been another preparation month as we get ready to host another missions trip in December and run six special Christmas outreach events through our church plant! As Christmas is the most opportune time to share the Gospel in Japan, we are excited about all the open doors that God has given us once again this year!

    Preparation months often double as building months to build the people God has brought to our church plant. On the first two Saturdays of this month, I was able to meet with one of our men from the English-speaking half of our congregation to clear up some confusion that he had from his previous church experience, specifically regarding baptism and using the correct Bible translation. On our second visit, I offered to gift him a King James Bible from our church, but he adamantly refused, as he wanted to purchase it with his own money! Please pray that God would continue to give him clarity as he now studies from an incorrupt Scripture and continues to hear Biblical preaching. We were also encouraged to see one of our first-time visitors from the previous month return and attend regularly this month! He was brought here by the young man from our Japanese- speaking half of our congregation, whom I have been counseling since last month. November 17 was our final session, as God gave him the major victory that we have been praying for! Please pray that God would continue to give him and his family victory!

    Our December preparation was also blessed, as we were able to get permission from four local elementary schools for another round of school-gate outreach this year, a rare opportunity for Japan! We were also able to complete all of the preparations for our upcoming missions trip. During it all, we had a wonderful visit from Danielle’s parents and one of our friends from the U.S., as well my aunt from across the Tokyo Bay. It was a special blessing that we were all able to go soul winning together on November 16! Many divine appointments to invite people to our services were given along the way, and we praise God for opening so many doors for us that we could not have possibly opened ourselves!

    On Sunday, November 10, we invited the most faithful family in our church to fellowship with us and our visiting family and friends in our home to celebrate their one-year anniversary since first visiting our church as our very first visitors at our church plant in November 2023, one month into running services at our church plant. We are thankful for what a faithful help and an encouragement this family has been to us over this past year and how God has grown this family closer to one another and to the Lord! It was a sweet moment to hear them pray out loud for one another as we closed out our evening of fun and fellowship. We praise God that since the day they first came, God has given us 12 consecutive months of first-time visitors! Between November 2023 and October 2024, God has allowed us to minister to a total of 127 visitors in our church services, 88 without counting visiting family, friends, and mission trips. God has also allowed us to have 90 different people in our home for meals and visitation, with 19 visitors from afar who have stayed overnight. We praise God for the 19 people who have stayed around and allowed us to continue serving them and for the 2 who have trusted Christ as their Saviour through our church plant! For many of them, our church plant became the first place they have ever attended a church service, seen a Bible, or heard the Gospel. We praise God for how He has answered our prayer to use our family and church plant to give as many people as possible the opportunity to trust Christ as their Saviour and to see Christians grow! Please pray that God would continue to use our ministry, especially for our remaining upcoming Christmas outreach events! God has already given us miracles in December that we are thrilled to share with you next month. We pray that God would also bless you with a very Merry Christmas and a wonderful start to a New Year!

    Danielle’s Journey

    This month was so exciting for me especially because my parents and my friend from high school came to visit us in Japan! It was so nice to serve with them in our church and out soul winning. Go’s aunt also came to go soul winning and fellowship with my family! During that time, I was able to meet a family of five who seemed very interested in visiting our church. We are still praying for God to give us a children’s ministry, so if they were to come, it would be a huge answer to our prayer! One of our main Christmas outreaches this year is specifically for reaching children. I had the privilege of designing all of the Christmas tracts and event fliers for the six outreach events my husband came up with. Thank you always for keeping us in your thoughts and prayers, especially as we conduct these upcoming Christmas outreach events! We hope you all have a wonderful Christmas and a Happy New Year!

    Your friends and co-laborers to Japan,

    Go and Danielle Oishi
