Serving God here in Yokohama and Kawasaki.
It’s great to play music at church service and serve God.
While we are working on the new album (still somewhat in preparation stage), Shinryu is now in the USA. He is touring with other Christian musicians for 2 weeks.
Thank you for your prayer! (Check his Instagram @shinryu_2021)
We are very thankful for all the support we received from you for our fire loss.
While we went through a hard time, some of you sent Bible verses via comments and messages, which were very helpful, encouraging, and inspiring.
I think we want to share those verses with you.
(All in NKJV just to make it simple)
Isaiah 61:3
To console those who mourn in Zion, To give them beauty for ashes, The oil of joy for mourning, The garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; That they may be called trees of righteousness, The planting of the Lord, that He may be glorified.
(Looks like the best encouragement for those who affected by fire!)
Psalms 23:4
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; For You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.
Romans 8:28
And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose.
Jeremiah 29:11
For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.
(God has a good plan for you!)
And also, this is something spoke to me during Sunday service last week.
Psalms 100
A Psalm of Thanksgiving
Make a joyful shout to the Lord, all you lands!
Serve the Lord with gladness; Come before His presence with singing.
Know that the Lord, He is God; It is He who has made us, and not we ourselves; We are His people and the sheep of His pasture.
Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, And into His courts with praise. Be thankful to Him, and bless His name.
For the Lord is good; His mercy is everlasting, And His truth endures to all generations.
We hope these verses encourage you just like they did us!
Gradually we are getting back to normal life. Well, not quite, but gradually yes.
We will never forget your support and God’s guidance.
God is faithful!!
Thank you Jesus.
