Blessing I received by joining Thanks, Praise & Revival Camp

A lower back pain kept me from making a decision to join this Revival Camp soon, but I got a confirmation from the Lord, and I am really glad I participated in this camp.

At Bonnie Brae House I received the outpouring of the Holy Spirit and was given the word from Luke 12:12 .

I was touched by the presence of the Holy Spirit in praise and worship time.  Then the anxiety was removed and i was able to speak a testimony boldly, filled with the Holy Spirit. 

Throughout the camp I received lots of blessings given by a living God this year again.

In addition, I made a debut of singing praise on the street live in Hollywood.

Participated in Hakuba Camp

By God's grace we participated in Hakuba Sunerugoi(Co-workers) Camp, beginning on Feb. 28th through March 2nd.

We had to head to Hakuba the next day of our arrival in Tokyo, but our prayer was answered; we were protected from jet lag and fatigue.

We got strengthened and blessed. We learned a lot in many ways.
Thank you for your prayer.

Prayer meeting to pray for the peace of Jerusalem

We joined a worldwide prayer movement of praying for the peace of Jerusalem on the first Sunday of October. 1

Especially, we participated in the prayer meeting to pray for the peace of Jerusalem and said prayer via Skype online with other missionaries from NY, Czech, Brazil and Cambodia.

Blessings we have received in Japan

Thanks to God and prayers of many, we've got back from Japan to NY without trouble.

This time around, Pastor Asano needed dental treatment which can be done by his friend in Japan at an affordable price, so we, as a couple, decided to return to Japan to join in Hakuba camp.

On the afternoon of the first Sunday when we attended a service at Tokyo Antioch Church, 
surprisingly, we got invited to Mr. & Mrs. T's who live in Tokyo; we have been praying for them in NY for healing and salvation.  
This time, we had a chance to pray for them in person and to tell the gospel of Jesus Christ.
They agreed to believe Him and prayed to accept Him for salvation; there was the presence of the Holy Spirit. We praise the Lord for that!

In Hakuba Camp we had wonderful blessings.

We got protected from the typhoon that was heading to Pastor Asano's hometown when he was returning there, as he was seeking God's guidance for which train to take. The train he took arrived safely at the station of his home town but the six trains after that suspended services all day.  Praise the Lord for that.

Participated in Hakuba Camp

By God's grace we, as a couple, participated in a Christian retreat called Hakuba camp this summer.  We are so thankful to have received lots of blessings in the praise and worship, through messages and the fellowship with brothers and sisters in Christ who gathered from all over the country.

Salvation work at the house we have visited

We have visited Mr. & Mrs. T's on the Sunday afternoon.

We have been praying for their healing and their aunt's.

Surprisingly, Their aunts was also at their house. 

We have heard that their aunt was released from hospital two days before, healed of her pneumonia! Praise the Lord!

We have never imagined that we would meet all of them we have been interceding in prayer in NY, knowing just their names.

Immediately after allowed in their house, Pastor Asano prayed for the healing of Mr. T who has been paralyzed from the neck down, laying his hand on him.  After that, Pastor told them about the gospel of Jesus Christ.

Everybody agreed to believe Him, and followed Pastor to pray to believe Jesus as their savior.

Hallelujah! !

We have recommended that they attend the services of Tokyo Antioch Church online;

we will pray they will be given follow-up according to God's will. 

Also, Mr. T. has a clear head and is desperately eager to walk again.

We will keep him in prayer.

We praise the Lord's salvation work for them!
We appreciate those who have prayed with us for them.

Temporarily returning to Japan

We have arrived at Tokyo on July 18th safely.
First off, we headed to Pastor Asano's parent's house at Shimane.7

Our journey in Christ has become a testimony to Pastor Asano's brother who is not saved yet;
he has given us a prayer request for his sons' employment.
I have felt he begins to open his heart to God, although he hasn't come to believe in Jesus yet.

We will continue to pray for salvation of his brother and our family members. 
May God work in their hearts to have faith in Christ.
