Attendees of the service from Japan

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. 

Prasing at the World Trade Center

At the observatory of the World Trade Center (102 Fl.),

we sang praises to the Lord as a praise band, gave prophetic words 

and spoke some God's words toward toward the four points of the compass --

without being hindered. 

By the the time we got out the building, the entrance to the WTC was crowded with many tourists, 

so we realized we had been protected to do what we had to do in the Lord. 

We pray that the Lord's work will further advance in NY, its neighboring states and the entire U.S. 

and that we will faithfully obey His will. 

We truly appreciate the intercessory prayer for us. 

Pray for the opportunity to share the gospel with a non-Christian mother

One of our church members Sister A. decided to stay home from church to attend online services at home while her non-Christian mother visited her to stay over a month in NYC. 

 However, Sister A. came to church along with her children.  
She says, her mother told her you should go to church on Sunday, and she sent them off to church. 

Her mother didn't to come to church but she said that she would like to invite the pastor's wife to her house in Tokyo to hear her story.

While Sister A. and her children return Japan for a month or so this summer, the pastor's wife who is also returning Japan for a short period of time is more likely to have an opportunity to talk with Sister A's mother at her house. 

I'd appreciate it if you would pray that the Lord would open the mother's heart to believe and accept Jesus Christ. 

Start of a Bible Meeting

We have started a Bible meeting at Dr. W.'s apartment !

Dr. W. is a retired ear doctor who had seen Pastor Daniel over 30 years.
The heart surgery he had had last summer made him very weak and caused him to discontinue his practice.
He accepted Jesus Christ last December, and recently has become stronger and stronger.

With Dr's consent, we had a Bible meeting for the firs time today.  

After a time of singing praises, Pastor Daniel spoke a message from John chapter 3 about a new birth. 

Doctor has been given a desire to read the Bible himself. 

Next time, we will bring him a Bible.

A college student from Japan has been saved!

A backpacker who has been traveling around the world has come to New York.  He is a college student and is from the same town as Pastor Asano was born.

He  came to NY on Sat. , April 2 and stayed at Pastor Asano's for three nights. 

 

On Sunday morning he attended a worship service in NJ.  

A message was spoken from John 3:16 centrally on the gospel.

He was listening it seriously and looked a bit surprised to hear that Jesus Christ died on the cross for our sin and riose from the dead. 

When Pastor Asano asked him if he believed Jesus, he said yes and prayed to accept Jesus as his Lord and Savior!!
Praise the Lord !

He also spontaneously attended a service at Manhattan on the afternoon. 

He introduced himself as a Christian to one of church members!

He goes to college in Shiga, Japan.

We pray that he will be connected to the church of God's will in Japan.

The NY charismatic meeting was blessed!

We had a very blessed time at the charismatic meeting, with Pastor Paul Akimoto, the U.S. team.

The meeting started earlier than usual, and the children were able to join in the meeting with their mother.　　

The video of the Israeli team was shown.

One of the ladies attended this meeting for the first time; she was an earnest Christian from other church.

She was impressed with the short film "The Boy Ludovigo and 26 Crosses,"and shedding tears.

Another lady who received the gift of tongue at the previous meeting said that she continued to pray in tongue.

In the seminar on the gifts of the Holy Spirit, Pastor Akimoto talked about the importance of the works through the gifts and the blessing of the baptism of the Holy Spirit

Followed by the seminar and worship and praise, he delivered a message from Matther 7:7; he told us about the secret of answered prayers.

We broadcast today's meeting online.

The following day, one of the attendees called and said that she had the pain in the lower back healed and had the symptom of her sensitive eyes much eased.

Also, Pastor Daniel Asano was prayed for a frozen shoulder at the meeting and the following morning he noticed he could lift the arm and turn it around, which he couldn't do before.
Praise the Lord for healing works!
