On May 30, Euqaristias presented a gospel concert at a day service center in Kita Ward.
Various groups have been singing gospel music there over the years, and it was clear that the participants were looking forward to the concert and enjoyed the gospel songs.
This time, the program included sign language gospel songs, performances by Power of Praise, and harp music. The participants sang along with the performances and were greatly delighted by the concert.
When God Is Love was performed, everyone recognized the song and enthusiastically joined in.
We are grateful that many participants told us they are looking forward to the next concert as well.
The Cornerstone, written by Pastor Makoto Kihara Isaiah, has been released as an e-book. It is available for purchase through Rakuten Books’ e-book service (Rakuten Kobo).
This e-book edition is based on the paperback version of The Cornerstone, which was originally published by The Appearance of a Rainbow in the Clouds Publishing in December 2006.
Please note that, as part of the digitization process, some of the photographs included in the printed edition have been omitted, and certain names appearing in the text have been changed to initials. Other minor revisions have also been made.
On Thursday, May 28, “KOKORO GOSPEL LOUNGE” was held at “Nakanoba” on the first floor of the Nakano City Hall.
Performances were given by Ayu, Lumiere, Plaisir, and Joshua, with three stages presented from the afternoon into the evening. Many people stopped to listen, and the gentle, warm sound of gospel music filled the entire Nakanoba space.
There were also visitors who had attended the J.GOSPEL FES at Inokashira Park and, after joining the “Kokoro Gospel” concert, came again to today’s KOKORO GOSPEL LOUNGE. It was a special time that reflected the growing connections being formed through gospel music.
The event became a moment of peace and hope, quietly touching people’s hearts in the midst of everyday life.
We sincerely thank the Lord for this blessed time.
We received news that Philip from the Immanuel Tour had been suffering from pneumonia. He was discharged from the hospital yesterday (May 26) and will now continue recovering at home.
His body is still very weak, so we would appreciate your prayers for complete healing and renewed strength.
