On 5 Feb., a praise band of Matsusaka, Suzuka and Kuwana called “Glory to the Lord” praised at a community center at Matsusaka city. They usually practice Gospel in that place. On that day, each circle using the center had a recital. The presence of the Lord was increased the moment they praised. Some of them sang some songs looking at a lyric sheet, and others closed their eyes listening to their songs. They seemed to be touched by God. Also the manager of the center said, “It’s splendid”. He was pleased at the concert.
Sing language also in Experiencing Healing Gathering
On Saturday 11, Feb, Experiencing Healing Gathering was held at Tokyo Antioch Church. First, we went to perform a street live with the gospel group L’abeille. Because they would give a mini-live in the first half of the gathering. When we handed out the flyer for the gathering, many people received them. Astonishing, they said, “Oh, It’s Gospel”. We realized that people’s attitude was getting changed before. Also the staff using sing language joined the street live. Then, sign language will be available next gathering.
Second Round of National Gospel Group Contest held in Kanto will be held today

Praise Group of Kyoto Zion Church, a Live Show in a Subway Station
A praise group of Kyoto Zion Church held a live show in Kyoto Shiyakusho-mae Station, a subway station. Some earnestly listened sitting on the bench placed just before the place of the performance.
One of them left during the live show and again came back with friends just when the live show ended, and said,”I wish to let them listen to your singing voice. Would you sing for us?” After we finished singing, they thanked, “We feel we are washed away, and we are saved. We thank you for your excellent singing voice.” Finally, we could hand the tract. Hallelujah! Thank the Lord!
