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 !

Nagasaki martyrs commemorative service held

We have participated online in Nagasaki service, commemorating the 26 Christians who got killed in Japan for the first time on Feb. 5th, 1597.

The service was held at Nishizaka hill on the midnight in NY time
and we felt the wonderful presence of the Lord and spoke to our hearts through the delivered message.

A Video Ps. Daneil Asano has made Applied for the Film Festival

Pastor Asano was able to apply the short video he made for the video-making contest of Hakuba Christian Festival!
