| The Power of Love |
| “The love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost” (Romans 5:5). |
| Here is a story of how the love of Christ can change lives: |
| Japanese Commander Mitsuo Fuchida led the deadly attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941. He hated the Americans. |
| Jake DeShazer, from Salem Oregon, hated the Japanese, and was chosen to be part of the Doolittle Raid, a reprisal attack on Japan on April 18, 1942. His plane went down, he was captured, and spent 40 months as a prisoner of war. Most of that time was in solitary confinement. He survived beatings, torture, and a starvation diet. However, he also got saved through the reading of a Bible that became available while a prisoner. |
| After Word War II ended he was released, and later returned to Japan to preach the gospel to the people he now loved. Mitsuo Fuchida, through the reading of a pamphlet about the salvation of DeShazer, his experience as a POW and his return to Japan as a missionary, got saved as well. They became brothers in Christ, and often preached together from the same platform. |
