Denver/Baton Rouge(Louisiana)

Chieko Kamidate Johnson (Pastor,TLEA Denver Church/Baton Rouge Church)

We praise the wonderful name of the Lord Jesus Christ. We sincerely thank you for your precious intercessory prayers and offerings.

We have received news from Denver that it has snowed. The leaves are very beautiful here in Virginia right now. The leaves in Denver were yellow, but in Virginia, the leaves are red, just like in Japan.

Now, churches in North America are using AI to create videos and images. The Denver church has been using AI to create music for the past two or three months. In the past, when we created a song, we had to hire an arranger to finish the karaoke, find a singer to sing, and do various other tasks, which cost money. However, when you create music with AI, you can create very high quality music surprisingly easily. There is no need to hire a singer, arranger, or performer. I think it is an amazing age. It is said that we need to be able to distinguish AI works, so I hope to be able to distinguish it and use it for missionary work. The Hakuba Film Festival will be held soon. We plan to use AI in video production as well, and we are studying how to do it.
