Daniel Asano (Pastor,TLEA New York Church)
Praise the name of the Lord. Thank you for your offerings and intercessory prayers.
While the TLEA group has entered a full-scale work, we once again started to pray and seek God’s will about going to the State of Maine, where an online member lives. Hopefully we can stand together as a praise band and have a good time of sharing together.
The mission office told us that the American team would not be sent in June, and when we reported this to Pastor Stanley of the Japan-America United Church, he replied, “So sorry.” With that, I learned that he is still enthusiastic about holding the joint praise concert. We told him that the team has not been canceled, but postponed. We hope that it will be realized in God’s perfect timing. We are also praying with the pastors of TLEA in North America for the next American team.
The other day, when I went to the dealer for regular maintenance on my car, I happened to meet Pastor N of the Japanese Church in New Jersey. I hadn’t seen the pastor for over 10 years. Sister O, who lived four blocks away from my apartment, was a member of that church, yet she never missed the TLEA NY Holy Meeting and also participated in the Israeli team once. I was able to hear from the pastor that Sister O had moved apartments. I found out about this just as I was about to visit her, and I would like to visit her there soon. I am also grateful that I was able to meet the pastor again at this time, reminded that I could send him the invitation to the worship concert once it is ready to take place.
