New York

　Hallelujah! Thank you very much for your prayers and offering.
　As I returned from Japan, I was surprised to find that prices were soaring; only the price of gasoline got stabilized. We held Sunday worship service in New York for the first time in five weeks, having the time of the testimonies of our stay in Japan. Ms. T of another church joined us, and said that she received a spiritual deep blessing during the service, which enabled us to confirm the blessings of the Lord we had received in Japan. We give thanks to the Lord.
　A lady who was just saved at a Japanese Bible Study in California came to work in New York as an intern. At the end of August, she came over to attend our service. Surprisingly, she was already finished with the intern, and got a job offer from the company in NYC. After the service, she also stayed for the beginners’ class. Please pray for her spiritual growth.
　In addition, Mrs. N of another church has come to attend our church service for the first time in about two years. She used to regularly attend our service once a month, but she could not come because of Coronavirus pandemic and rising crimes in NY subway. She said that when she returned to Japan in October, she would participate in the worship service at Tokyo Antioch Church. Mrs. N’s real sister who lives in Tokyo had come to attend the service at Tokyo Antioch Church together us when we were in Japan.
　Please continue to pray for God’s work in New York and the U.S.
