"One of the churches we visited, Chichibu Church, has a member named Kato-san. Kato-san was blind from birth. Our team was incredibly blessed by this man. He was baptized the weekend we visited, and during the introduction time, he stood up and told us his name and birthday. But it was even more encouraging to hear him say, “But my new birthday will be this weekend, for I am going to be baptized.” He does not see the world with his physical eyes, but his spiritual eyes are open, and he has seen the grace of Jesus Christ. How wonderful and amazing it would be that the first thing he sees is the face of God in heaven, and not the dirty sin of this world! Although he could not see us or communicate with us well, he was always there at our concerts, listening to our praise songs, trying to sing along…" (Tina Lee, Japan SMP team)
