よっぴーの話♪ Yoppy's story
神様って素敵なサプライズをたくさん与えてくれる♪
God gives us exciting surprises all the time!!!
土曜日はクリスチャンになってから2週間のよっぴーが西東京礼拝で5分間話したんだ。
On Saturday, YOPPY, 2 weeks old Christian shared her testimony in West Tokyo Service.
よっぴー緊張してたけど、しっかり話していて、輝いていて、本当に感動した！！！
She was nervous a little, but she seemed confident and I was really encouraged to see her shining!
2週間で人前で神様の愛について堂々と話せるのって凄い！！！
I can't believe that she's been a Christian for 2 weeks and now she can stand in front of people, sharing how great God's love is!!!
残念だったのは、いつもより人が少なかったこと・・・。 もっとたくさんの人に聞いてほしかったね、神様知らない人にもたくさん聞いて欲しいねってよっぴーと話していたら・・・
Unfortunately there weren't many people than usual... Yoppy and I were saying, "It would've been better if there were more people who didn't know about Jesus yet..."
神様からのサプライズが（笑）
And then God had a surprise! (LOL)
日曜日の11時半と13時半の礼拝で再びよっぴーがみんなの前で話すことに！！！
YOPPY was asked to talk for 11:30am and 13:30am Sunday City Service!!!!

もともと話す予定だった人が来月に延期になったんだ。
The person who was originally going to talk had to postpone it.
このブログによっぴーの内容を載せたいから、原稿をもってきて～っていってたから、よっぴーが話せるってことで、よっぴーに決定（笑）
It was funny that I asked Yoppy to bring her notes that day so I can share that on this blog... since she had the notes, she was asked to share! (LOL)
土日連続って凄い。
Wow... Saturday and Sunday in a row!
なんとなく緊張しながらもよっぴーなら引き受けそうなので、聞いてみたら・・・ びっくりしていて目まんまるくなってたけど、
I thought Yoppy would say yes if we asked her and when we asked her, she looked so surprised that her eyes became wide open but she said...
「やります！・・・ってかやりたい！」って☆
"Ok, I'll do it!!! well, actually I want to share!"
そして・・・ 11時半・13時半と話しました！ みんな感動してたよ！ よっぴーも輝いていて回数重ねるごとに自信が出てた。
So she spoke in 11:30 and 13:30 service! Everyone was amazed. She was shining and seemed more confident towards the end.
私が大阪に行く前でコンビ組めて本当に嬉しかった。 神様、ありがとう！
I was so happy that we could talk together before I went to Osaka. Thank you God!
今週の終わりぐらいに www.jesuslifehouse.tv にのるので、チェック！！！
You can listen to her testimony online later of this weeks, check www.jesuslifehouse.tv
まあ、前置きはここぐらいまでにしておいて、よっぴーからもらった原稿をのせます☆
Anyway, this is SUPER LONG for an introduction... I'll just post YOPPY's notes here.
☆ 最初日本語、英語で訳したものは後半です！
First in Japanese and English translated version after that.

クリスチャンになる前までウチの心はボロボロやった。
原因は職場での仲の良かった子とのケンカ。 そのケンカがみんなに広まり、誤解され、陰口、シカト、いやがらせ、ウチが悪者あつかいされ孤立した。
昼休みは屋上で過ごし、帰り道は泣いてた。
周りに知られたくなくて、友達にも相談できず、外では明るい自分を演じてた。
ホンマは辞めたかった。 でも仕事は好きやし、辞めれんかった。
そんな時、mixiを通していずみと知り合った。
チャーチに興味があったけど、なかなか行く機会がなかった。でも、今の辛い自分を変えたくてチャーチに行ってみた。

みんなフレンドリーで優しいし、宝石みたいにキラキラしてる。
「何でそんなに輝いてるん？」めっちゃ知りたくなった。
そしたら、「神様を一番に考えて愛し、良い方向へ導かれてる」からってわかった。
photo:hitomi
うちも想いを伝えたくて、なんども心の中で神様を呼んだ。
そうすると、神様は自分の中にもいてることがわかった。
その時、今までの辛かった事が一気に流れていった。
初めて祈ることを知り、祈ってもらえたとき、自然に涙がでた。
チャーチへ来ると嫌なことが忘れられるし、本当の自分でいれる。
いずみから聖書の言葉をもらった。
（マタイ６：３３－３４）
「神を第一とし、神が望まれる通りの生活をしなさい。そうすれば、必要な物は神が与えてくれます。明日のことを心配するのはやめなさい。神は明日のことも心にかけてくださっています。一日一日を力いっぱい生きなさい。」
毎日不安で仕方なかったし、力いっぱい生きてへんかった。
こんな自分のことを導いてくれる神様に近づきたいと思い、今月11月1日にクリスチャンになりました!
photo:hitomi
救われたことにより、神様のことを一番に考えるようになった。
周りの目を気にせず、自分らしく神の為にベストをつくすように生きると約束した。
そしたら、今まで自分の事だけ考えて相手の気持ちは無視していたことに気付いた。
全て相手が悪いってチャンスを与えてなかった。
自分を受け入れてへんからこそ、相手を受け入れる余裕がなかった。
ちゃんと受け入れた時、周りとの関係がよくなった。嫌っていた人のことが少しずつ好きになってきたし、人をゆるせるようになった。
photo:hitomi
みんなの良いところをたくさん吸収したい！
今はジーザスとの人生がスタートしたことが幸せです！！
アウトリーチに参加してから自分が変わった。
photo:hitomi
もっと日本には必要としている子たちがたくさんいるし、ジーザスのことを多くの人に知って欲しい。
一人でも多くの人をチャーチに誘い、クリスチャンになって欲しい。
神様はぜったいにうらぎらへんし、みはなしたりせえへん。
うちらのことをとっても愛してくれてます！！！
今では自分がクリスチャンっていうことを隠さず友達にも伝えれる。
今日ここで神様との出会いについてシェアできたことを感謝します。
神様大好き！！！

Before I became a Christian, my heart was broken.
That was because I had a fight with my coworker who used to be really close to me. Other coworkers thought that I was the bad one and they started talking behind my back, ignoring me and did mean things to me.
I was isolated. Everyday I ate lunch by myself and I was always crying on the way home.
I didn't want my friends to know about this so I couldn't tell them. I was always acting as if I didn't have any problem.
I really wanted to quit. But because I liked my job, I couldn't quit.
Then I met Izumi through mixi.
I was always interested in church, but I didn't have to opportunity to go there. But I decided to go to church for the first time because I wanted to change myself.
photo:hitomi
Everyone at church was so friendly, kind and they were shining like a jewelry!
I wanted to know why they were shining so much.
Then I realised that that was because they had God as no.1 in their lives and they were following the right way.
photo:hitomi
I wanted to communicate with God so I cried out to him in my heart many times.
Then I realised that God was already in my heart.
And all the sad things that were inside me instantly disappeared!
photo:hitomi
When I learned how to pray and when people prayed for me, I started to cry.
When I come to church, I can forget about sad things and I can just be myself.
photo:hitomi
Izumi gave me this scripture.
Matthew 6:33-34
"But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own."
I was worried everyday and I wasn't living my life to the fullest.
I became a Christian on 1st November, this month because I wanted to draw closer to God, who has been always guiding me.
Since I became a Christian, God has been no.1 in my life!
I promised God that I won't worry about other people anymore. I 'll just be myself and give my best to Him.
photo:hitomi
Then I realised that all the time I was focusing on myself and I wasn't thinking about other people's feelings.
I was always blaming on others and I didn't give them any chance.
Because I wasn't accepting myself, I couldn't accept others.
When I accepted myself and others, I started to develop better relationships with people. I started liking the people that I didn't like before and now I can forgive people.
I want to learn so many good things from other Christians!!
I'm so happy that my life with Jesus has started!!
photo:hitomi
Since I started going to outreach, I've changed!
There are so many people who need Jesus in Japan and I want them to know about Him!!
I want to invite people as much as possible and I want them to be saved!!!
God will never leave us or forsake us. He loves us sooooo much!!!!!!!
Now I can tell my friends that I'm a Christian! I don't have to hide it anymore!
I'm so thankful that I can share about my encounter with God here.
I loooooooooove God!!!!!!!!!!

話し終わった後のよっぴーの感想。
This is what YOPPY said after sharing her testimony.
「やっぱりファミリー最高やな。 入りきらんくらいの愛でいっぱいやねん。
ウチの心のタンクがみんなのおかげで満タンになった♪

緊張の反面、喜びでいっぱいな５分間（笑） 昨日に引き続きまた今日もシェア出来るなんて。

"I love my family!!! Their love is soooo big! My love tank is full because of them!
I want to fill peoples' empty tank (LOL)
I was a little nervous while I was sharing my testimony but I was so happy!! (LOL) I couldn't believe that I was able to share both yesterday and today!!!

Thank you all for listening to me...! I'm going to grow more and more!!!"

Hi, there,
I am in China, I would like to share with you a testimony. Wish more people know it. I am also a beginner in Japanese, but my writing is not good. Thank you very much.
Kind regards,
The Testimony of Brother M Being Saved
I wrote this testimony under the guidance of God. Although I have never seen brother M, I can understand his words on the phone. God guided a Liaoning-nese to understand the words of Shandong-nese. And I can put down what brother M said easily. Thank and praise God. I wish more and more people are saved and God get his glory.
Brother M lives in Weifang, Shandong, China. His backbone has been injured in a traffic accident, and he has been lying in bed for many years. As he lacked money, he could not have his injury cured. Only his ten-year–old son lives with him and his son picks up rubbish everyday to earn money, but what his son earned is not enough for them to have meal. I learned this story from the radio in 2008 and tears rolled down my cheek. God asked me to help brother M, and I wanted to contribute money to him. Brother Z who often goes to see him in hospital sent me a message by mobile phone: “Now Christians in Weifang have raised almost 7000 yuan for him. And the hospital promised if he has 10.000 RMB, his curing would be continued.” I prayed to God: “Lord, please give brother M enough money for curing”.
Later I prayed to God: “Lord, I have lost my job and I do not have income. I cannot offer enough money to brother M so I would like to raise more money from Christians.” God indicated that I need not to contribute money because enough money had been raised for brother M. I prayed: “Lord, I have decided to make contribution in my heart. You know I am poor now, therefore, you told me I need not to make contribution. I will contribute 50 yuan.” I replied to brother Z by mobile phone message: “The money for curing is enough now and I need not to find people to raise more money. It is God's mercy and favour towards brother M.” Then I prayed: “Lord, I am in Liaoning while brother M is in Shandong, please tell me how to send money safely to him.” God indicated that I could trust brother Z and asked him to open an account in the bank using his own ID card, and I could pay money into the account. I asked brother Z to tell brother M God’s will: “this 50 yuan is for his living.”
Brother Z did not understand my message “the money for curing is enough now” until he learned that over 10.000 yuan has been raised for curing from brother M a few days later. He wanted to use brother M’s ID card to open an account at first, but brother M’s ID card has been destroyed by fire. In the end he followed God’s will. He withdrew 50 yuan I sent and gave it to brother M.
God commanded me to write a testimony on brother M being saved and let more people know it. I called brother M and learned his experience in detail. Brother M’s backbone was injured in a traffic accident in October 2001. He has been lying in bed since then and only his head could move. For lacking of money his curing had always been interrupted between 2001 and 2005, and all curing had no effect. God indicated in my dream that brother M did not pray during this period of time. I learned later that brother M thought that his injury was God’s will, so he did not pray. After praying he can move lightly in 2006. Later he got some money from others. After only two operations in 2008 his nerve was recovered from 10% to 50%, which is very successful and the first case in China said the doctor who was in charge of his case. He can move very easily now but could not pick up things by hand and walk. Too many people were injured like him, although they have enough money for curing they have been lying in bed longer than him and cannot move now.
I prayed to God to show mercy and favour towards brother M, and let him can support himself and his son can go to school.
