Praise the name of the Lord. Thank you for your offerings
and intercessory prayers.
Thanks to the internet streaming, we were able
to participate live in the Nagasaki Martyrs Memorial Service, three meetings in
the morning, afternoon, and evening. Early
in the morning I just remembered and opened the Internet, and ended up joining
in the evening meeting live, where I received a strong message. I am also
grateful that I was led to pray for the dedication to God again.
We have been praying for a long time about relationships
with the Jewish community and have decided to take a step forward as this flock
has entered a full-blown walk. I found
that the time of the Jewish church service in Manhattan was not convenient for
us, so we attended the Friday night meeting at the Jerusalem Center in the
suburbs of New Jersey, which we had attended in the past. This time, the senior
Messianic Jew pastor Rabbi Jonathan Cahn, who is well known in the United
States, was preaching. The presence of the Lord was very strong in the
congregational praise, and we were blessed and strengthened in the entire
meeting.
Pastor Paulo Akimoto's application for a
missionary visa was sent back by the Immigration Bureau due to incomplete
documents. Thankfully, the application was not rejected, so we will be
reapplying in April. Please pray for his visa extension and the mission work in
the U.S.
