GRACIOUS DOORS holds a volunteer concert at a day-care center in Tokyo

On October 31st, GRACIOUS DOORS held a volunteer concert at a day-service center in Tokyo, attended by approximately 22 people.

As we sang original gospel songs such as “Cheer Up” (Genki o Dashite) and “Let’s Give Thanks in Abundance” (Afureru Bakari Kansha Shiyou), the audience raised their hands and swayed from side to side, clearly enjoying the performance.

It was particularly moving to see one man—who in the past often found it difficult to remain seated for the entire duration and would frequently leave for another room—stay in his seat until the very end, clapping along and participating in the event.

Everyone joined in the singing with wonderful, bright smiles; the concert was truly enveloped in the warm love and joy of God. We offer our heartfelt thanks to God for blessing this concert!

A gospel concert was held at a welfare facility for children with intellectual disabilities in Ota Ward

On Saturday, October 31, 2026, a gospel concert was held at a welfare facility for children with intellectual disabilities in Omori-honcho, Ota Ward.

Now in its 11th year, this concert has become an established annual tradition. We invited Yuki Hoshina from Tokyo Antioch to perform, and for about an hour, the children enjoyed a selection of songs—including themes from *Doraemon* and *Anpanman*, as well as five gospel pieces from the collections *Kaze no Hibiki* (Echoes of the Wind) and *Yasuragi no Uta* (Songs of Peace/Comfort).

Before the music began, some of the children were busy touching the equipment or walking around the room; however, once the concert started, their demeanor shifted completely. They sat quietly, listening intently, clapping along, and singing—it was clear that the gospel music was touching their hearts. At the facility’s request, we included more songs from anime familiar to the children, which helped keep everyone engaged; while there are usually some children who find it difficult to sit still, this time, everyone remained seated and participated from beginning to end. We thank the Lord for His blessings.

The gospel group from Fukushima Church participated in the “Fukushima City Center Music Festival 2026”!

The “Fukushima City Music Festival 2026,” hosted by Fukushima City, took place on Saturday, October 24, and Sunday, October 25. Thirty selected acts performed at five different locations throughout the city.

“Fukushima J-Gospel” and “Fukushima Kids”—gospel groups from the TLEA Fukushima Church—performed a 20-minute set at Sankaku Hiroba (Triangle Plaza). They sang four gospel songs, including “God is Love” (from the collections *Kaze no Hibiki* and *Yasuragi no Uta*).

In the presence of the Lord, people began stopping to listen from the very first song. During “God is Love,” the audience even formed the “L” sign with their hands as they listened, and some young men in the crowd danced along to the music.

We were also invited to perform at another event taking place in Fukushima City next month—it was truly a blessed time!

Praise God!
