I am Yusuke Suzuki, from Japan, in full-time ministry here in Brazil for 4 years. I come from a multi-cultural background, both in my upbringing and in my ministerial experience, as well as the directions towards where I am going that is headed towards Europe and Japan, as God desires for all people to be encountered by the touch of His glory and the knowledge of His glory, that fills all in all.
This vision of my ministry is to see generation(s), not just our generation, but the many to come, to first be awaken by the Holy Spirit who regenerates us, establish them on the truth of the Word of God, and both be transformed and to transform society around us on a global scale.
This is possible not just by singing or dancing in church but exactly by what happens outside of the four corners of the church. We need Christian thinkers, academics, artists, doctors, governors, scientists, engineers, and all the more, to transform society from the inside out according to the inaugurated Kingdom of God in Christ by the Spirit, on earth as it's in heaven. Precisely, we do not sing or dance our way into reformation and practical and concrete societal transformation. We need thinkers. We need people who carry character, discipline, and virtue of the God-man by the way of the Holy Spirit.
My ministry focuses on the sphere of education and academia, as we recognize that the leaders of tomorrow are forged and indoctrinated, whether by and for good or bad, in universities. I am called into being a man who implements both the knowledge and touch of the glory of God into society through the realm of academia.
As I walk with God in this journey towards acculturation (transforming the world around us by influencing the culture) on a macro-scale, I cannot do this alone, even if I wished to. But together, we can see a better tomorrow for the legacy of our children's children, as we strive to see God's glory and the knowledge of His glory touch and transform lives from one degree of glory to another.
This cannot be accomplished either with a short-term vision like Hezekiah's, which became the macro-society's downfall. We need each other - I need you - to run together into accomplishing what the Father wants to and will do on earth.
Yusuke
