New Book "The End of the World - What is going to happen from now on - The Bible"

Finally we had some copies of the new book written by Pastor Paul Akimoto, titled Book "The End of the World - What is going to happen from now on - The Bible"(a temporary translation) delivered to us from 

Tokyo. 

We still got an order request from a sister in Christ from other church.

We are excited to hear the book in the process of being translated into English at a high speed.

Online service member

Sis. M. who is now an online service member came over to attend today's service!

Her husband has driven her to church and she attended the service for the first time in more than six months.

She has been faithfully attending the online services,
but she has commented, saying that she receives more blessing at the live service.

New Year Service

On Nov. 1, 2015, the Israeli team held a new year worship service by the Sea of Galilee.

(We were shown to make the month of November the first month of the year from the Book of Exodus 34 in 2004.)

The words for the new year have been given !

"the word of God came to John the son of Zacharias in the wilderness." (Luke 3:2)

"Prepare the way of the Lord; Make His paths straight."  (Luke 3:4)

In the new year's service at New York Church a message was delivered from Romans 14:7: "for the kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit."

Surgery is over

On Wed. , Oct. 21, Pastor Daniel Asano had an inguinal hernia surgery successfully!

Thank you for all those who prayed for him.

The book "Prophecy - It's reality and use" handed out

I was able to give a sales person a copy of the book "Prophecy - It's reality and use" in English version, written by Paul Akimoto.

His wife was Japanese and we started to talk.

Knowing that we are Christians and the church, he began to ask lots of questions:  which denomination,  the Second coming of Jesus, etc.

He was especially surprised to find our church is charisma pentecostal and showed interested in prophecy, asking questions about it.

So, we gave him a copy of the book "Prophecy," and the church's website address.

We are thankful to the Lord for this opportunity to share.

May His work and blessing be extended further. 

A niece attended the online service

A niece of Pastor Asano's and her husband attended the Sun. morning service held at Pastor Asano's. 
We had a worship service by using the online service of Tokyo Antioch Church, projected on TV screen.

The niece was surprised that praise songs sounded modern and that many young people were attending the service.  She remembered Tokyo Antioch Church she had visited to attend the wedding ceremony of Pastor Asano about five years before.

In a message time, Pastor Asano talked about the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
We will continue to pray for her and her husband.

Joined in the Prayer for Peace of Jerusalem Meeting

The first Sunday of October is the day to pray for peace of Jerusalem.  This is the global prayer movement promoted by Rev. Jack Hayford and others.

We participated in the Pray for Peace of Jerusalem meeting sponsored by Tokyo Antioch Church by praying through Skype on live program,
together with pastors and missionaries from Brazil, Czech, Cambodia, and Israel.


Pray for the peace of Jerusalem:
    “May those who love you be secure.
7 May there be peace within your walls
    and security within your citadels.”           Psalm 122:6-7

Thankfully, we feel a need to pray for peace of Jerusalem more than ever this year.
We'd like to continue to pray for that.
