Thanks & Praise & Revival Camp

 Pastor Daniel Asano is grateful that he participated in the Thanks & Praise & Revival Camp held in Los Angeles from March 27 through March 31.

Served as MC on the first night

On the second day Prayer Chapel miraculously became available for us to pray for two hours!2日目の午前中、プレヤーチャペルが奇跡的に開かれました！

This is the place where some starting members of the Lord's Cross Christian Center Church prayed thoroughly and received the word of promise for Revival from the Book of Habakuku.

All the team members for the Revival Camp not only prayed there but had a time of worship together.

On the second night, he brought a testimony.

He was given a word from God while praying at Bonnie Brae House.

Also, God richly blessed works of praise.

He is so thankful that he was strengthened by receiving the spiritual blessing of thanks and praise!

Participated online in the Martyrdom anniversary service in Nagasaki

On February 7th, a special service to commemorate 26 saints' martyrdom was held at the hill of Nishizaka, Nagasaki, starting at 2 pm.  At midnight in NY time, we attended the service online. 
We are grateful to have been able to share them with its blessing.

I felt the deep, abundant presence of the Lord even through the internet;

the delivered messages deeply spoke to my heart.

I was encouraged to pray that the strength of the Lord would be manifested by relying on Him in prayer, while praising the Lord, and being filled with the Holy Spirit.

Hawaii Team has been blessed

We have come back from the team sent to Hawaii from Jan. 23 through Jan. 26.

I appreciate those of you who prayed for us.

It took us about 20 hours to fly from NYC to Honolulu via Los Angeles;

we were able to join in the first service on the first day with Hawaii Team on time, without feeling exhausted at all. 

On the first day, one person came from San Francisco to attend the service and three from Los Angeles.  We saw many devout people gather together from other churches.

On the morning of the second day, the team members and some others headed to the hill of Tantalus.

Soon after we arrived at the hill, a rainbow appeared; it became bigger to make an arch and brighter!

We saw the base of the rainbow over the city, and it was an impressive clear double rainbow. 

We took that rainbow as God's confirmation of blessing and promise, as found in Noah's story in the Bible.

I felt as if God confirmed that He would certainly bring to pass what He had promised to us.

The sign of this rainbow encouraged me to pray and obey God further.

In the service there was a deep presence of the Lord and the message delivered by Pastor Akimoto spoke to my heart deeply.  

I heard the healing had took place through the word of knowledge in the ministry time.

I give thanks and praise to the Lord for everything He has done throughout the team. 

Participation in Hawaii Team

Pastor and Mrs. Daniel Asano have decided to participate in the mission team sent to Hawaii from Jan. 23 through Jan. 26. 

It is the step of faith.

We'd appreciate it if you would pray for us and the team so we could do God's will.

Please take a look at the team's blog about how it is doing in real time.

Joint Prayer Meeting

Mr. H whom Pastor Daniel Asano made friends with in Christ suffers pancreas cancer.

Pastor Asano has been praying for him since I heard that news.

There are many friends of Mr. H's in some churches, it has been decided to have a joint prayer meeting for him among those churches in New Jersey.

Pastor Asano misunderstood the time and couldn't participate in it.

On a later date, he was shown the video of that prayer meeting and prayed for him together in accord.

In the video, Mr. H shared his testimony, saying that the cancer was steadily shrinking although the anticancer treatment was very difficult and that he had a vision of talking about God's healing and miracle.

Worship Service on January 1, 2017

On the morning of Jan. 1, Mrs. T and her husband who is from Central South America have come to attend a worship service at Pastor Daniel's apartment in New Jersey.
Pastor Daniel delivered a message from Psalm 103:17, centering on grace.
Later, we heard that the message was timely for her husband and we gave thanks to the Lord for that.

Sanctifying service at a new apartment

Mr. & Mrs. Kim live in Hawaii and stayed in NYC for a while mostly to help their daughter move to a new apartment.  We are always thankful to them who pray earnestly for our churches, helping us and cooperating our ministry in many ways. 

We are pleased to have them attend our Sunday services while they were in NYC.

On the last Sunday during their stay, we were invited to hold a sanctifying service at the new apartment their daughter would move in.

We are so grateful that we worshiped the Lord, singing praises, praying and confessing the words of God together.

We praised the Lord, hearing that this new and neat apartment in a very nice location was the answer to their prayer !
