When we lived in Kona, Hawaii we were members of the first church the missionaries planted in the islands in the 1820's. It was right near the harbor so tourists and cruise ship passengers came inside daily for tours that I and other docents would give. One day a Japanese man came in with a book he had borrowed from the library of the Holland America cruise ship that had anchored there. He told me in broken English that he had been reading about this Christian woman and he wanted to know her God and could he find that God in this church? I told him he had come to the right place so he ran out and got his family and brought them inside and I got to share the gospel with all of them and give them Japanese tracts. God is so sovereign that He used the written record of hatred of a German dictator toward Jews in Holland and the Christian love shown them to bring a Japanese man to a Hawaiian church to hear the gospel from a Cali girl.
