Tonight we went to Universal Studios Japan to watch their Christmas show, “The Gift of Angels.” As you can imagine, this being Japan and all, we were surrounded by thousands of other spectators, snapping photos and enjoying time with their loved ones. The show was absolutely spectacular and the Christmas tree, with its Guinness World Record setting 360,000 lights, nearly brought tears to my (Heidi) eyes. In this moment, I imagined what it must have been like as a shepherd in the hills of Bethlehem on the night of Jesus birth. Yes, this tree was amazing, but can you imagine an entire sky filled with God’s angels, singing praises to the new born King? Wow!
We enjoyed the Christmas carols that accompanied the show. It seemed a little ironic that a country so spiritually dark was pumping praise songs to Jesus! This was a special moment of worship for me.
We are officially done teaching English for 2014! We are having a Christmas party for all of our English students on December 23, which is a national holiday in Japan (The Emperor’s birthday). Please pray that our students will come and receive the Christmas story with an open heart.
We wish you a very Merry Christmas from Japan! Let us rejoice in the birth of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ!
Blessings in the new year!
Logan & Heidi Foth
