Praise the wonderful name of our Lord Jesus Christ. I sincerely thank you for your precious intercessory prayers and offerings.

Recently, during a time of prayer, I was led to go and worship as part of our praise team at a park located near the mouth of the Elizabeth River in Norfolk. Last week, we went there and offered praise. The place was called Town Point Park, and as I later looked into its history, I learned that it is one of the original “points” of Norfolk. Norfolk was one of the earliest port towns during America’s colonial era and is said to be the first commercial port to develop along the East Coast. Among those early settlements, the first town area was built in the Town Point Park region. When I realized that God had led our praise team to such a historically central place in Norfolk, I was filled with gratitude and praise to the Lord. I hope to continue going out to wherever He leads.

It has also been one year since we began connecting with the Jewish Community Center in Virginia Beach. I’ve been sharing with many people the idea that the Japanese may be among the lost ten tribes of Israel, and I’ve felt the need to explain it more clearly through visual media in English and Hebrew. I plan to create a series of one-minute videos to communicate this message.

1.To pray, listen, and obey so that I may do the work according to God’s will

2.For the ministry of 21st-century missions
