Praise the name of the Lord. Thank you for your offerings
and intercessory prayers.
It has been bitterly cold for more than two
weeks, so cold that it hurts my face. The inauguration of the US President on
January 20th was suddenly held in the US Capitol building due to the extreme
cold. The venue (Rotunda) was one of the places where we, all of us TLEA's
American pastors and evangelists, stood as a praise band in September, and I
never imagined that I would be in such a place at the time.
I followed the blog of the European team that
was sent on the same day as the inauguration and the online broadcast of the
meetings, and received blessings through that. I was surprised at how greatly
the team was used by God. Hallelujah.
When I was recovering from my back pain, my
shoulder suddenly started to hurt, and the pain continued for more than two
months. When I read again the record of the prophecies that had been spoken
when the teams came in the past, I remembered that one of the prophesies said,
"Pray for your own healing," so my wife prayed for me almost every
day, not me. I made an appointment with the doctor I had seen last time, but
the pain was gone by the same day. I went to see him anyway, but I struck out because
he was not a specialist in shoulders. However, the pain had disappeared, so I
praised the Lord.
Pastor Paul Akimoto's reapplication for a
missionary visa has been sent to the Immigration Office. This time the
application will be reviewed at the Texas Center which is different from the
center previously submitted in the past, and there it seems to be stricter.
Please pray for it.
At the end of February, my wife and I will
return to Japan temporarily and participate in the Hakuba Camp. We would
appreciate your continued intercession.
