Blessing from Hakuba camp

We didn't participate in the Christian conference called "Hakuba Camp" held in Nagano, Japan, but we joined in it through prayer.

We got wonderful blessing pouring from the online distribution of the messages delivered during the camp. We are so grateful to the Lord for that.

You can watch the digest movie of Hakuba Camp below.



"In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead."

                                                                                      (James 2:17)

First preparatory class for baptism

After the worship service, we had the first preparatory class for baptism with Bro. A, who is from Latin America.  We give thanks to the Lord for that.

We communicate with Bro. A who speaks Spanish in English, our common language.

We pray that he will have assurance of salvation and that he will get baptized soon in God's time.

Attendees from California

The K family who used to be our church members and moved to California have attended the Sunday service!
They are back to NYC for a holiday.

It seems that K-san has had the Lord speak to her heart in the service.
Her daughters who speak English watches DVD on the Prodigal son in English while the pastor brings the message.
After the service, the girls helps tidy up the equipment  - they have grown up!

We give thanks to the Lord who blessed the service and the fellowship!

Helper!

Every Sunday  Pastor Daniel carries the equipment and set it up as seen in a picture above.

However, today Bro. A is with us to attend the service, and has helped him carry and set up the equipment!

 

That has given Pastor lots of relief!

By the way, we recommend Bro. A receive water baptism. but he is a little hesitant about it.

We pray that he will get baptized in God's time. 

Americans attended

（This picture taken after the service)

Two ladies from Washington have attended today's service when it is half through. 

Last Sunday an American guy attended the service, participating in the Holy Communion and offering.

That has reminded us to pray for translation in the service as well as growth class after the service.

We appreciate your prayer!

New comers!

Y-san who is a daughter of Pastor Daniel's friend has come to church with his American friend for the first time!

She says she is coming next week!

We pray she will come to have faith in Jesus Christ.

Some copies of the book "Prison to Praise" by Rev. Meriln Carothers

Trinity Presbyterian Church has allowed us to put some copies of the book "Prison to Praise" on the entrance shelf.

We put two copies about a month ago, and found one gone.  We believe somebody took it to read.

We pray that the blessing of giving thanks as written in that book will spread to many !
