Following God

Among the youngsters, there are Secondgeneration Christians. They have changed from merely receiving religion from their parents to experiencing God for themselves.

Last Resurrection Sunday, three young pastors from our Youth Army, Tim, Jackson and Edmond took up the role as the preachers in turn in the five services and preached the message at the Mercy Seat for the first time.

The Resurrection Day Services last week were exceptionally moving. It vividly reenacted the biblical scenes and impressed everyone.

I was prompted that Ps. Anna should preach on “Prayer and Ascent”. Soon after her sermon, Ps. Anton Cruz paid us a visit when he prophesied that our church should fast and pray again.

Two weeks ago God led us to a trip in Japan – our first visit to branch churches after the pandemic. From this trip, I feel that Japan is ascending.

Our 40-day Fasting and Prayer ended in early March which coincidentally marked the cancellation of the government’s three-year mask mandate.

C-Mo and I are visiting our branches in Japan in mid-March and it happens that the gover nment has just relaxed all social distance measures early this month.

Purim falls in this week when our 40-day Fasting and Prayer ends.

Thank God for keeping us for the past three years during the pandemic

Earlier on, I fell sick and was found to catch COVID last Tuesday. Thank God that after some rest I have got much better.

The first Sunday sermon the Lunar New Year was wonderful – Boaz, our co-worker and his wife Debbie preached with their Being at the Mercy Seat for the first time.

At this initial stage of our 40-day fasting, it appears that God reminds us, Levites, to sanctify ourselves and align with God.
