All the saints in Japan received a lot of help from Brother Paul Wu for the advancement of the Lord’s recovery in Japan. He himself visited a lot of cities in Japan many times for the conferences or fellowship. Here we would like to share how he helped Japan Gospel Bookroom as well as the Lord’s work in Japan.

As for Japan Gospel Bookroom, Brother Paul Wu promoted the blending among gospel bookrooms in Asian countries. The literature work is to coordinate the work of the age by Brother Watchman Nee and Brother Witness Lee in order to spread the ministry of the age. For this, gospel bookroom in each country should not work independently but to be coordinated to do the one work. Brother Paul Wu took care very well of each gospel bookroom in Asian countries and he initiated the blending among each gospel bookroom in Asian countries in 1990s and 2000s. Once in three years, we, serving ones of each gospel bookroom, gathered together at one place such as Taipei, Korea and Malaysia to be blended one another for the one work. Through such opportunities, we, Japan Gospel Bookroom, had a lot of blending with each gospel bookroom to receive a lot of help. Of course, we had a very intimate fellowship with Taiwan Gospel Bookroom to be naturally brought into the one work. In this way, the literature work in Japan received a lot of blessings.

As for the Lord’s work in Japan, when we held conferences at many cities in Japan to follow the Lord’s present move, Brother Paul Wu himself came to Japan many times to help us. When he was not available, he always arranged some co-workers of Taiwan to come to Japan. Through such a help, the Lord’s recovery in Japan has been kept in oneness with His one work on the earth. Praise the Lord!

In 2010, when we had a burden to preach gospel nationwide, we had fellowship with Brother Paul Wu and asked him whether it was possible to send many saints from Taiwan to Japan to preach gospel with us. Brother Paul Wu immediately answered our request and sent dozen of co-workers, full-timers and full-time trainees (FTTT) to us. They come to some cities in Japan and stay for a month to preach gospel with local saints to mainly college students. We still practice this every year. Through this practice, the saints in Taiwan and Japan are coordinated together preach the gospel and many people were baptized. This practice has become a great help for the advancement of the gospel in Japan.

In 2015, when we had a burden to purchase a big meeting hall which can accommodate 1200 persons, Brother Paul Wu came to Tokyo many times to find a good property. He encouraged us and enlarged our small capacity to offer a lot of money for it.  We also received a lot of offering from the churches in Taiwan. Through such a help, we succeeded to purchase the big meeting hall at a very convenient place near university campus (Waseda university which in one of the best private universities in Japan).  Now this property is used as the office of Japan Gospel Bookroom, as the place where FTT Tokyo trainees have classes, as the place which has a good atmosphere to invite gospel friends and new ones for fellowship, and as the place where we conduct various kinds of conferences.

In this way, Brother Paul Wu has always had a kind concern for the churches in Japan. He has never rejected our request but always taken care of us and encouraged us. We really thank the Lord for granting such a girt for the Body of Christ.
