Once the singing began, the whole place fell silent\u2014
this was not a performance, but an encounter that touched the heart.<\/p>\r\n

Yesterday in Miaoli, we experienced something truly special and moving.
If you had been at the county government, you too would have stopped in your tracks, just as we did, drawn by the singing.<\/p>\r\n

A pastoral team led by Paul Akimoto<\/span><\/span> from Tokyo Antioch Church in Japan visited, and under the warm hospitality of Vice Magistrate Lai Hsiang-ling, a sincere and heartfelt time of fellowship began.<\/p>\r\n

This was not merely a courtesy visit, but a blessing that went beyond language and national borders.<\/p>\r\n\r\nAt first, we thought it would be a formal meeting, but what moved us the most were the two songs of praise you offered there.\r\n

Even without lighting or stage effects, once you began to sing, the entire space fell silent.<\/p>\r\n

Your pure and powerful voices were clear, harmonious, and reached straight to the heart.
It made us wonder, \u201cIs this really live singing?\u201d
It is no exaggeration to say that you were truly professional.<\/p>\r\n

At that moment, the difference in language no longer mattered.
The music had already firmly connected Japan and Taiwan.<\/p>\r\n

The most memorable part of this exchange was not its formality, but moments like these.<\/p>\r\nPeople from different cultures and backgrounds come closer through faith and goodwill, sharing moments that leave a lasting impression on their hearts.\r\n

In 2027, the Taiwan Lantern Festival will be held in Miaoli.<\/p>\r\n

In our hearts, a small but sincere hope has begun to grow.
Someday, we would love to welcome the members of Tokyo Antioch Church back to Miaoli,
and on an even greater stage, share your beautiful songs with many more people,
so that they may come to know your presence and be touched by your voices.<\/p>\r\n

We are sure it will be another wonderful encounter.<\/p>\r\n

We would like to express our heartfelt gratitude to all of you who came from afar.
You have brought great blessing and deep inspiration to Miaoli.<\/p>\r\n

Some voices, once heard, remain in the heart for a long time.
We sincerely look forward to seeing you again in the near future.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
