PRESENCE took place at an elderly day care facility in Suginami

On Saturday, December 13, PRESENCE, a congregational praise band from Tokyo Antioch Church, held a one-hour concert at an elderly day care facility in Suginami.

Although it was a newly opened venue, those who had attended a mission school were delighted and said they felt nostalgic listening to the gospel music. Others, who heard gospel music for the first time, commented, “It was wonderful from beginning to end,” “I want to hear it again,” and “It was so much fun—please come again.” Some were even moved to tears.

We were also invited to visit on other days and to perform on other floors, and were even asked to sing at a children’s center. Several new connections were opened. All glory be to the Lord!
