Heading to Israel on a mission trip

Pastor Daniel Asano will participate in the mission trip to Israel, starting on Oct. 29 through Nov. 10, 2018.
He is going to fly on the midnight of Oct. 28 and join the main group from Japan at Tel Aviv.  Surprisingly, the total number of participants is 92 this time.

This year falls to the 70th anniversary of a nation of Israel.
We will have a new year service of our church at the Sea of Galilee.

Day to pray for the peace of Jerusalem

The first Sunday of October is the day to pray for the peace of Jerusalem, which is the global prayer movement.

We joined in the meeting to pray for the peace of Jerusalem hosted by Tokyo Antioch church;
we made a brief appearance to pray via Skype, which was streamed online;
so did some  from Brazil, Cambodia, Czech, and Israel.

You can view this stream here, but it is now available in Japanese only.

Rehearsal of "the Day to pray for the peace of Jerusalem"

We will participate online in the meeting to pray for the peace of Jerusalem on Sunday, Oct. 7th this year again.

Just in case that the poor internet access disable us to connect via Skype to the meeting in Tokyo, we have recorded a video including our comment and prayer to a sponsor, Tokyo Antioch Church.

Seeking confirmation for a new space for worship service

This is a sanctuary of Trinity Presbyterian Church, located in Mid-town Manhattan.
It can accommodate about 120 people.
We are surprised to get our prayer answered for a space.

As we continued to pray to see if the space is in accordance of the Lord's will, Pastor Asano sought for a sign of a rainbow and I sought for a sign of some sort.  On the very day we prayed that way, thunders and lightnings struck NYC.

Then the day after that, Pastor Asano saw a rainbow on his way home in his car just as he had asked for it!

With these signs, we wonder if God is telling us that that church is the one He has provided for us.

We continue to pray so we could follow His leading. 

To New Place !

We are moving from the space for worship service which we have rented more than four years at prep academy.

Korean church let us use that space at a different time as theirs, and they also needed to move out, but have got provided a new space at an  American Presbyterian Church !

Their Korean pastor has told us that we might be allowed to rent that space too.
So we just went to take a look at  the church.

However, we had a chance to talk with the church staff and learned that their space was available from 9:00 to 10:15 a.m. 

We are praying if it is the will of God.
