On Saturday, January 10th, the Tokyo Antioch Church’s congregational praise team, PRESENCE, held their 11th concert at a day service center in Kita Ward.
Everyone seemed to be really looking forward to it, asking, “Are we going to have gospel music today?” We were surprised to see some new faces singing along, even though it was their first time.
Mint, JOY, Yuuki Hoshina, Immanuel, and Gifts also sang alongside PRESENCE. Over the years, gospel music has become more prevalent, and the audience listened intently to the talk, which included gospel verses. We also had the opportunity to hear from the staff.
A family member of a resident commented, “They seem to be looking forward to the gospel music,” and one of the staff members was even seen secretly shedding tears as they listened to the gospel music. It was a great opportunity to see God touch both the residents and the staff through the gospel music.
Glory to the Lord!
