Ah, your advice is well taken.
And I didn't mean to be sanctimonious; I've been thinking, off and on, about going to Japan and doing some missionary-work myself.
A friend of mine (who will enter the mission-field soon) remarked to me that people whose world views were shaken were much easier to reach. Which is why the surrender would have been the best time to send missionaries, after all weren't they led by a god and didn't they have the brave and unbeatable warriors?
Imagine if America were to suddenly simply lose. Say the Mexican Illegals incited a civil war. Right after the war (and even during it), don't you thing the average citizen's view on God would change?

Good evening.
No Problema, amigo. As I said I'm guilty of the same things.
I was under the impression that there was a surge in conversions to Christianity in Japan after the war. If my information is valid, it would support what you are saying. Are we seeing it in the Muslim lands or are they too quick to saw off the head of convert?.
When CW2 breaks out here, I'm of the opinion that belief in God will be much harder to find, but more needed.
