Before the RPLNISH Experience even began, people anticipated it would be significant. We were going to do our first RPLNISH Experience for Japanese pastors and leaders but also meet with some national denomination leadership to find a way to partner and keep doing RPLNISH in Japan for years to come.
We assembled 9 Japanese pastors from the greater Tokyo area and headed north near Mount Fuji. It was incredible and God moved powerfully. Three of the pastors admitted they had recently passed out from exhaustion and overwork. One of them had a significant hospital procedure as a result.
We laughed, we played, we hiked we had amazing sushi, shabu-shabu and ramen. We experienced camaraderie and felt God's presence as we shared our souls and prayed for each other. Some of them shared their stories on our YouTube page here.
We established significant relationships in Japan. The Japanese pastors connected well and found new friends and peers. RPLNISH connected with 9 amazing local pastors and we were able to establish a future for RPLNISH in Japan.
Please pray for our RPLNISH Japan efforts going forward. We need continued favor and also need funding to continue the good work there.
