Denver/Baton Rouge(Louisiana)
Chieko Kamidate Johnson (Pastor,TLEA Denver Church/Baton Rouge Church)
Praise the wonderful name of the Lord Jesus Christ. I sincerely thank you for your precious intercessory prayers and offerings. In Virginia, the summer heat has changed over the past week and it has become a little cooler.
The other day, the Kokoro Gospel concert was held, and I was unable to watch it in real time when I was in Denver due to the time difference, but I was able to watch it in real time in Virginia, which was a great blessing. After it was over, I listened to it again in the car on the way to work, and tears came to my eyes at God’s presence. I was truly grateful to have been able to experience the wonderfulness of praise.
Now, the deadline for applications for Kaze no Hibiki 12 has been closed, but Denver Church was also able to apply. This time, in addition to regular composition, brother Ejay translated the lyrics he wrote in English into Japanese using a translation app, and he also tried to create a song using AI. I am amazed at technology because even people who do not know Japanese can create songs in Japanese. Since we are talking about 21st century missions, I hope to become more adept at using AI and other things.
