Praise the name of the Lord. Thank you for your offerings
and intercessory prayers.
In June the Iran-Israel war broke out, and the United States
joined in, shaking the world. Although a ceasefire has been reached after 12
days of war, there are concerns about how Iran may retaliate against the United
States with terrorist attacks in the future, so please pray for this.
My wife and I recently visited Sister O, a member
of another church, who used to live in our neighborhood. She has faithfully attended every NY
Charismatic Meeting in the past and even participated once in the Israeli team.
Having recently moved into a senior residence, she welcomed us, and we really
had a good time with her in her new home. Before we left, she asked us to
invite her to the next NY Charismatic Meeting. Although she now lives quite far away, I am
praying that she will be able to join us once again with God’s help.
During the service at Tokyo Antioch Church,
Pastor Paul Akimoto clearly spoke about sending a team to the United States. We
are praying to move forward with more concrete prayers and practical
preparations---especially we explore the possibility of holding a joint praise
concert with Japanese-American Church in NYC. Please pray that the next team
will include praise band members and the team will be sent in God’s timing and
to the places He has appointed.
We also continue to pray with our online member
who live in the State of Maine, seeking God's will, to take a step forward in
faith in Maine.
