We have received a heartfelt message of gratitude from Pastor Volodya in Ukraine

Dear Pastor Paul Akimoto and the brothers and sisters of TLEA Church, We sincerely thank you for your prayers, your financial gifts, and your warm care for us. We are deeply grateful to Pastor Paul Akimoto and all the brothers and sisters at TLEA Church.

We praise and thank the Lord from the bottom of our hearts that you are praying for us and standing with us. As the war drags on, witnessing the pain and suffering of the people—while feeling exhausted in both body and spirit—is truly heartbreaking.

Amidst this, your prayers and support serve as an invaluable source of encouragement to us. Through your standing with us, we feel the Lord extending His hand, granting us strength and encouragement.

Even in these dark times, united in the Spirit through the Lord, we rejoice in Him and offer our heartfelt thanks to each and every one of you.

May the Lord richly bless you all. And may you be granted peace, joy, and the strength to support and cooperate with one another for God’s glory in the days ahead. We love you dearly.

May God’s abundant blessings be upon you all!

Regarding the survey on interest in the Omura Bay boat trip (February 4)

On Thursday, February 4—the day before next year’s Nagasaki Martyrs’ Gathering—a boat will run from Sonogi to Togitsu. (The exact time is yet to be determined, but it will likely be in the afternoon or evening.) While we intend for participants of the martyrdom tour to take this boat, please let us know if there are others who would like to ride it as well. As this serves as a pilot project for future initiatives, we are receiving support from the towns of Togitsu and Higashisonogi, as well as Yasuda Kisen; while the price will depend on the number of passengers, we do not expect it to be expensive. We would appreciate it if members of each church could complete the survey at the link below.

We are asking for your support for an orphanage in Cambodia.

Thank you very much for your invaluable prayers and warm support.

We carry out our work in Cambodia with official authorization from the Cambodian government as an NGO.

This authorization requires renewal every three years, and this year marks the time for that renewal.

To proceed, we are required to demonstrate that we have the necessary operating funds; specifically, we need to secure enough to cover two months of operations (for the upcoming months of November and December) by mid-October.

We require approximately 1.36 million yen to cover these two months of operating expenses, and we humbly ask for your prayers and support.

Euqaristias Held a Concert at a Day Service Center

On August 29, Euqaristias held a gospel concert at a day service center in Kita Ward.

Once again, we were able to present sign language praise, songs by Power in Praise, and a harp performance, all of which were warmly received by everyone.

We also had an opportunity to share a message from the Bible, and everyone listened attentively. At the next concert, we will also have an opportunity to invite those attending to receive Jesus Christ as their Savior.

We give thanks to God for this blessed opportunity.
