Praise the name of the Lord. Thank you for your offerings
and intercessory prayers.
I am now writing this report in Japan. I thought I would not
be able to come to Japan for a while, but by the grace of God, which exceeded
my expectations, I was able to return to Japan temporarily. And having
participated in the Hakuba Camp even gave me conviction that God was guiding me
to come to Japan, and I have received so many blessings. My wife and I were
given the opportunity to share our testimonies, and many people who heard about
a potential joint praise concert in NYC reacted expectantly for the work of
praise bands in the U.S. In addition, for Hakuba Christian Film Festival, the
videos submitted by TLEA U.S., "Bonnie Blair House, Azusa Street Revival,
the Beginning of the Latter Rain Revival," won an award, and
"Japanese are Israelites" won first place. I believe this has
inspired higher expectations and prayers for God's work in U.S., for which I am
truly grateful.
Personally, I was able to reach out my
relatives in Japan. I laid hands on my sister in Hirakata and my 102-year-old
aunt in Shimane and prayed for her in the name of Jesus. During the latter half
of their stay in Japan, my wife's mother was unable to move due to a suspected
compression fracture in her lower back, but my wife was able to care for her
just when she needed help most, and my wife is grateful for God's love and provision,
praying for her healing and salvation.
Please pray for a next U.S. team and the work
in America and also pray that we could continue to take steps of faith forward.
