What was going on MEETS of July?

Many people came to MEETS this month.
We had newcomers. We had the opportunity to listen to their testimony and felt that each of us stand on our faith and trust in Him.

Recently, Akito, who is American, lost his friend while he has been homestaying in Japan. He shared that he felt bitter when he remembered his attitude for his friend and God and the pastor gave comfort to him. When we look at him those who confesses his lifestyle and is asking to be humble in front of God with prayer, that was encouraging to such a young person who has God working in his life asking to be made humble through prayer and sharing.

Also, Sandy who teaches at Seishin and lives at Kojima and Heather who just came to Japan one month ago came to MEETS and gave us their testimony God’s leading of them to Japan.

Thank you, Hiroko san for playing piano even though we asked you to do that all of sudden. We sang the songs both in English and Japanese. We knew there was no difference between countries when we praise God with singing from our souls



Crossing Culture Introduction for this month
Tatsumi kun gave us the report on Africa! Sandy will give us the presentation on the Marshall Islands for the next meeting!


We would like to pray for…
Those who came from England and recently have been studying about God, Mao who is going back to the Philippines for summer vacation, Rachel, Jacky, Gen and M those who went back to the US.
We are sure that Japanese members also have been sharing through your life in Japan, too. We pray that God will use MEETS for sharing and praying together for us.
