Baptists witness in Japan, Korea

The World Cup soccer games have drawn people from 36 nations to Korea and Japan – where Southern Baptists and other Great Commission Christians are waiting to share the good news of God’s love.

Thirty-five Southern Baptists and other Great Commission Christians are partnering to distribute more than 11,000 gospel tracts and 1,500 “Jesus" films. Since the games began May 31, 100,000 visitor’s guides that contain a gospel presentation and testimonies of Christian soccer players, as well as schedules and events, have been handed out.

And people are responding, workers report. One Korean man and his two children accepted Christ as Savior after watching a copy of the “Jesus” film they received.

The workers expect many more opportunities for God to move among athletes and fans before the final game in Yokohoma, Japan, June 30. Workers ask Southern Baptists to pray for God’s Spirit to move in mighty ways during the World Cup. (BP)
