Praising group of Nagoya church participated in the local event of Midori district of Nagoya city, “Midori Festa 2012” on 22 January. It has become a concert to make people known a part of our Gospel club activity. There were approximately 100 audiences, and they gave us applause for each of our songs. God’s presence was poured, and we were wrapped with warm atmosphere. The Lord blessed us. We give thanks to the Lord.
As God told us, “English version of homepage will be used.”, a new foreigner saw our English homepage and came to our 7th worship service for the 1st time. This person is a Christian who is from Sri Lanka and used to live in Canada. He (She) listened to the message, seminar, and prophecy in simultaneously interpreted English. We are getting better in accepting people.

On the evangelistic meeting on the street in the team to Philippines, the work of salvation was performed. Also, many people had faith in Jesus and were saved during the mini-crusade. The report was given; the person who had the pain in the knee was healed just after prayer for the healing was given. The other who had monaural deafness was reported to get to be able to hear plain. We prayed for the child who was deaf and mute. Because the child started to reflect a little when we clapped hands near the ear, children around there repeatedly shouted, “Jesus”. Then, the child said in a small voice and plain, “JESUS”. The Lord performed the miracle!!.
In the afternoon on 18, January, “Glory to the Lord” the joint praise band of Kuwana, Suzuka and Matsuzaka held the concert at the birthday meeting of “Toshien” the rehabilitation facility for the elderly. About 20 people of residents of the facility, staff members and their families gathered. The old lady of the one-hundred age was included.
Some were crying listening praise songs from “Yasuragi-no-uta” the song book, “Umareru-mae-kara ( Since the Day before I Was Born)”, “Kokoro-karano-sanbi ( Praise from Our Heart)”, and “Eien-no-ai ( Eternal Love)”. There were some who wished the card of the lyrics of “Ookina-ai (God’s Big Love)”. Family members of residents who turn their age this month also listened to praise songs together. And some who were asked how the concert had been by the person who was in charge of the concert, replied, “Each of songs touched me so much.” “It’s the first time I listen to such songs. I was glad to listen to on the birthday.”
Residents at the facility was pleased with their response,”Please come back again!” And the person who was in charge of the concert also gave us the offer to hold the concert every month. The concert was richly blessed.
A stomachache of a child in Church of Living God in Kitakyushu was cured. This child attends the prayer and the practice for the praise every week. When this child arrived at the church, she sat down inclining forward with arms holding stomach, saying,”My tummy hurts!” Then we prayed for healing. She was pleased to be completely healed when she left for home. With all of our hearts, we thank God who healed.
