Praise the name of the Lord. Thank you for your offerings
and intercessory prayers.
While the TLEA group has entered a full-scale
work, we once again started to pray and seek God’s will about going to the
State of Maine, where an online member lives. Hopefully we can stand together
as a praise band and have a good time of sharing together.
The mission office told us that the American
team would not be sent in June, and when we reported this to Pastor Stanley of
the Japan-America United Church, he replied, "So sorry." With that, I
learned that he is still enthusiastic about holding the joint praise concert.
We told him that the team has not been canceled, but postponed. We hope that it
will be realized in God’s perfect timing. We are also praying with the pastors
of TLEA in North America for the next American team.
The other day, when I went to the dealer for
regular maintenance on my car, I happened to meet Pastor N of the Japanese
Church in New Jersey. I hadn't seen the pastor for over 10 years. Sister O, who
lived four blogs away from my apartment, was a member of that church, yet she
never missed the TLEA NY Holy Meeting and also participated in the Israeli team
once. I was able to hear from the pastor that Sister O had moved apartments. I
found out about this just as I was about to visit her, and I would like to visit
her there soon. I am also grateful that I was able to meet the pastor again at
this time, reminded that I could send him the invitation to the worship concert
once it is ready to take place.
