Today is the 70th anniversary of the Japanese bombing of Darwin. What no secular history book ever mentions is the fact that Commander Mitsuo Fuchida who led this infamous raid was led to Christ after the war and became a born again spirit filled evangelist. He was a national war hero and was one of the rare Japanese who was given audiences with the Emperor. His hero status helped to win 1000's o
f his countrymen to Christ. Mitsuo also commanded the raid on Pearl Harbour and personally sunk the Arizona killing 1177 American sailors. He later visited the naval base of the 'Arizona' after he found Christ and asked forgiveness to families at a special ceremony.. A widow of one of the Arizona sailors brought her little boy up to Mitsuo to shake his hand offering acceptance of total forgiveness. No you won't find this in the history books!
I have a chapter about him in my book about forgiveness 'Releasing Healing' (available at www.johnmellor.org or Koorong).
There's so much more I could say but Mitsuo was certainly was one of God's trophies of Grace!!!
