On Sunday, August 4th, Izumi Araki spoke to us on "Daily Spiritual practice: Sharing Good news" and her role at Friends of Overseas College University Student (FOCUS) club in UBC. Izumi believes that the goal of ministry is not conversion, but friendship. Ministry is a chance to reveal to them that they are made in the image of God—that they are made to love and be loved. When you have conversations with them, they will read the Bible through you, and hear the good news through you as well. Izumi believes that it is with small acts of conditionless love, like inviting students over for dinner, that will change the course of global history. [JL]
