Yokosuka Church Praise Band Performed at “Yokosuka Countdown 2026”

Yokosuka Church’s praise band, Come & Worship, Sara Maeda with Family Band, and ISRAEL performed at the Yokosuka City-sponsored “Yokosuka Countdown 2026.”

More than 1,000 people gathered in front of the outdoor stage at Verny Park to listen to original J-gospel songs and gospel songs like “You Were Born to Be Loved.” During “God is Love ~Love is Everything,” many people formed L shapes with their fingers or light sticks, clapping and dancing along.

After the countdown, the entire cast performed “Happy New Year YOKOSUKA ~ God Bless Yokosuka,” written and composed by Pastor David Maeda, during the New Year’s concert. The crowd celebrated the New Year in Yokosuka with great excitement.

You can watch the video for “Happy New Year YOKOSUKA ~ God Bless Yokosuka” below.

Presence performed a concert at a day service center

On Tuesday, December 30th, the congregational praise team, PRESENCE, from Tokyo Antioch Church, performed a concert at a day service center in Higashikurume City.

This was their first visit to the facility, but the staff had been following them on Instagram and were very excited. The pastor was also present at the facility, and he offered a prayer at the beginning. Along with PRESENCE, Mint, JOY, Yuuki Hoshina, Immanuel, and Gifts sang.

The pastor was in tears as they listened, and even between songs, they exclaimed, “Amazing!” and “They’re so good!” Everyone was delighted, and the staff members responded with various comments, such as, “It was so wonderful, I got goosebumps!” “I want them to come to my church!” and “Please come again!” Glory to the Lord! You can watch the concert here.
