NY charismatic meeting blessed

We are thankful that the meeting held on Oct. 18 was blessed in the presence of the Lord. 

In the seminar on the gifts of the Holy Spirit, Pastor Akimoto talked about the will of God for the gifts of the Spirit in the latter-rain revival;
in the message, he talked about the topic on God's hope from Romans 15:3, including some specific testimonies and sharing the experience of the coup at Istanbul, Turkey on the way back from the mission trip to Patmos.

Before this meeting started, some people showed up with their prayer requests, sparing their time from work.

We are so grateful for the intercessory prayer for us.

Participated live in the meeting of "Pray for the peace of Jeruslaem"

On the first Sunday of October, the Day to pray for the peace of Jerusalem, a meeting to pray for that was held at Tokyo Antioch Church.

In the first part, missionaries at Brazil, New York, Czech and Cambodia took turns to pray; 

we are grateful  to pray with one accord worldwide.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　

In the second part, the video messages were shown, sent by one of the promoters of this prayer movement, Dr. Robert Stern and Rev. Thomas Sandal of ECI(European Coalition for Israel)

Also, Pastor Paul Akimoto delivered a message from Psalm 122:6 regarding the prayer for the peace of Jerusalem, which was very inspiring.

A Christian lady comes again, seeking healing

A lady who goes to another church came to our worship service the week before, 

seeking healing for her relatives.

She has come again to attend our service this Sunday.

In the delivered message, she was listening with joy to the healing testimony of Benjamin, the second son of Pastor Akimoto, who was healed of the brain damage.

This time she has come back with a piece of paper with the names of the three ill relatives of hers written on.

Thankfully, she has told us that one of those relatives began to move part of his body although the doctor said that he could not move at all due to paralysis.

We have praised the Lord for that and will continue to pray for them.

(There was a big traffic congestion in Manhattan, which was rare in August. Later, we found out that a Dominican Parade had been going on.)

Blessing I received at Hakuba Christian Camp

I am so grateful that I was able to join in Hakuba Camp in Nagano, Japan, representing NY Church.







I received lots of blessings through praise and worship, the delivered messages, the fellowship with brothers and sisters in Christ;

I got strengthened and encouraged so much.

I really enjoyed all-you-can-eat meals, too.

I'd like to follow the Lord on the land of NY by His grace on the foundation of prayer, thanksgiving and listening and obeying Him, looking up to　heaven -

with the faith of having already received what I prayed for according to God's will.

New comer from other church

A lady from other Japanese church came to attend our service today.

She was here to seek healing for her family members who suffer severe illnesses.

Thanks to God's grace, she was listening attentively to a message of exercising faith,

and I prayed for their healing after the service.

May the blessings given to our church expanded to many.

To our happy surprise, Japanese couples who was visiting their daughter in New York  came to 

attend our morning service at our apartment in New Jersey.

We are also happy to hear their daughter Akiko san say that she'd like to attend our service in Manhattan.

We give thanks to the Lord for them and keep praying for them.
