“You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do people light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a stand, and it gives light to all in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.” – Matthew 5:14-16

The harvest is ripe in Japan. God is raising up more and more Japanese Christians and missionaries as the salt and light, to preach the gospel with boldness and power. No longer a “missionary graveyard,” Japan will be known as a land of revival, the land of the True Rising Son.

「你們是世上的光。城造在山上是不能隱藏的。人點燈，不放在斗底下，是放在燈臺上，就照亮一家的人。你們的光也當這樣照在人前，叫他們看見你們的好行為，便將榮耀歸給你們在天上的父。」（馬太福音5:14-16）

日本的莊稼已經成熟。神正在興起越來越多的日本基督徒和宣教士，作為鹽和光，大有膽量和能力地傳講福音。不再是一片“宣教士墓地”，日本將被稱為復興之地，真光升起之地。

The last ten days I was back in Taiwan. On Monday and Tuesday I filmed a live studio recording for my new Chinese worship album. The whole project came together quite last minute, but by God’s favor I was able to get all my favorite Taiwanese musicians and director into one studio
過去十天，我回到了台灣。週一和週二，我在錄音室錄製了我新的中文敬拜專輯的現場演出。這個整體企劃在最後一刻才完成，但因著上帝的恩典，我得以邀請到我最喜愛的台灣音樂家和導演們齊聚一堂

Before leaving the girls’ house, they prayed for me. “Lord, bless Melody’s trip back to Taiwan and the people she will meet along the way.” I remember at the time thinking, “Evangelism? I’m not sure I’ll have time for that.” Turns out God always has time for reaching the lost. The only question is if we will be His hands and feet.

在離開女孩們的房子之前，她們為我祈禱。“主啊，祝福Melody回台灣的旅程，以及她在路上會遇見的人” 。當時我記得我在想，“傳福音？我不確定是否會有時間”。事實證明，神總是有時間去尋找失落的人。唯一的問題是，我們是否願意成為祂的手和腳。
