After Typhoon No.21 (16-17 December, 2011) hit on the Mindanao island of the Philippines, more than 1,000 people were killed and many people are still missing. The members of our Philippines’ churches and children in the orphanage are safe. Ms. Cora said, “We had never experienced such a disaster before where the river flooded a large area, not a few houses were swept away, and our friends and colleagues suffered from the typhoon.” So we’d like to ask you to pray for their recovery.

The team will be sent to the Philippines from Saturday, 14 through Tuesday, 17 January. Please pray also for the team.

On Wednesday, 14 December, the gospel group “PATOLIS” gave a concert at a special nursing home for the aged people in Shiranuka-cho, Hokkaidou. They had a good fellowship with a Christian clerk at the window. She said, “I was so moved because of your choice of music a good one.” She showed them an another facility for the next concert in Kusiro-city. Some audience members from Korea were very moved when they listened to the lyrics of “You were born to be loved (Korean’s Gospel music).” Many people were touched by the presence of God through the concert. We praise the name of the Lord.

On the 15 and 16 December, La Spoza  served by singing Christmas Carol and Yasuragi no Uta in the concert at a Christian daycare home and an old folks home  in Tokyo. This is the home that La Spoza members visit monthly. Everyone sang Christmas carol, ‘Ookina ai’, and ‘Subete ni kansha’, which they have learned by heart already. They have told them the good news and they felt the Lord touched each of them in the deep presence of the Lord. In the daycare home, one hour has passed very fast, and everybody seemed to be wrapped with joy and content. Many people say ‘Thank you’ to them. They felt the Lord’s deep plan that will be given through Yasuragi no Uta.  Praise the Lord.  We return the glory to Him.

A woman who was suffering from liver and lung cancer is hospitalized. She belongs to Nagoya Church. She has a Christian profession of faith. At the end of November, she was in critical condition. A doctor said that he would not resuscitate. She had a high fever, strong jaundice and a rare immunological disorder because of the cancer. So we had prayed for her in the church, and the pastor and the pastor’s wife visited her to pray for the healing. Then God’s healing was started. Strong jaundice was getting weaker day by day, and her eye’s strength was getting recovered. Besides the oxygen and one of the drops was taken off. As of today, she is getting recovered better so that she is able to have a bite of pudding and jelly. We praise the name of the Lord!

On Friday, 16 December, True Vine was invited by the Committee for the Promotion of the North gate city-planning at Kofu station to hold a concert in North gate redevelopment center at Kofu station. The leaflets of the concert were distributed among the whole family in the city by a circular notice. So a lot of audience attended the concert even thgouh it was not a large place. God’s presence had come upon there abundantly so that many people were moved to tears. Many wonderful words in filling out questionnaires were said, “God really heals me.”, “I wanna more many people to hear the wonderful songs.”, “I’d like to buy more CD’s.” When they entered into this fiscal year, surely they realized that different reactions than before were being appeared in each place.

On 14 December, in the evening, Splendor gave a Christmas gospel cocnert at the hospital named “Yao Tokushukai Group General Hospital Relaxation Ward” in Yao city, Osaka. The concert was held due to a request for a staff who is in charge of the web site in the hospital ward. Just before starting the concert, he was playing the Splendor‘s CD’s that he bought. At that time, Splendor would be schedule to hold a concert in an another facility. However, because the place of the concert was near the facility, Splendor asked to shift to the time so that they were able to have the concert. It was the first time to use for the concert. Some of them even shed tears. A staff said, “I’ve never seen such a quiet countenance.” Splendor has received a request to have a concert again because they were moved so much.

On 11 December, 2011, Gospel Live TV features “The last minute Information on Kokoro-Gospel on 20th.” The gospel group named “Gospel Seed” and “Gifts” will be broadcast. They will appear on the second-half to the coming concert. So tomorrow’s Gospel Live will be a special program for the performers as a rehearse.

Joseph Sanbonmatu of Gospel Seed, made himself hoarse. So instead of that, the group’s VTR will be broadcast. The VIT was recorded on Kokoro-Gospel in Summer, 2011. We’d like to ask you to pray for his healing that he will be able to go on the stage of 11 December.

Gifts will sing all four songs including their talk. We realize anew that Gospel is so great through Samuel’s talk, one of the member of Gifts.

Kokoro-Gospel will be held on Tuesday, 20 December. Tomorrow’s GLT is just before the concert, Kokoro-Gospel! For further information, please contact GospelConcert.jp

We are being renewed about the notice of Kokoro-Gospel on this Photonews.
