On Sunday 24th June, TrueVine and Kofu Gospel club held a concert at a Yamanashi Prefectural Theme Park. It was held at a entrance area where many people come in. Many people stopped and listened carefully. An iridescent cloud, which was seen in front of us just before the concert made this concert very impressive one. We received their request for Twilight concert in August. I give thanks to the Lord.
