Mamiko led this time!
She prepared some questions and asked us,
For example, " where wold you like to bring Barack Obama to if he comes to Japan and asks you to bring him to somewhere?"
"What first name would you choose if you can change it?"
We enjoyed the game a lot!
Worship Time

yes, Lord, You are Everlasting!
Testimony
Dr.Akiko shared her story.
We got to know that God gave her life big changes.
We were so moved by her story.
Message
Philemon18
"If he has done you any wrong or owes you any thing, charge it to me."
Pastor Elmer spoke this time,and
God taught us the forgiveness through his message.
We can't do anything by ourselves,and we always need to follow and listen to him
After the service
We enjoyed talking and eating snacks !!
We had a great time this week as well.
Anyone can come and join us freely!
We are looking forward to seeing YOU!
Have a blessed week( the rest of this week...)
Hello, everyone.
We had another great Saturday at TGIS.
[Ice Break]
Keiju prepared very intelligent riddles like this " Five minus two equals six, what is this?"
Can you understand? The answer is sixty (or sixth etc...).
Sixty has five words. If we vanish two words "ty", it becomes six.
Thank you for making very interesting riddles, Keiju.
[Worship]
We sang these songs,
1 Heart of Worship
2 Everlasting God
3 Worthy Is The Lamb
4 How Great Is Our God
Thank you for nice PA, Ronnie, Tomoko.
[Testimony]
We had a testimony by Jun. He was a "souchou", a head of "bousouzoku".
He had a very hard experience and he lost meaning of life.
After hard suffering, he met God and found meaning of life.
Thank you for very precious testimony, Jun.
[Message]
Colin talked about the plan of God , and Pastor Elmer translated the message for us, thank you .
In the past time,Colin thought he would continue the army until he retire the job. He didn't think he would live in Japan for a long time.
But in fact, what he didn't think happened to him. It was the plan of God. God guided led and gave him many precious experiences! All we have to do is following the plan of God.
Thank you for grateful message, Colin.
[Refreshment]
After the service, we chatted with snack and had a very fun time.
See you next at the TGIS.
God bless you.

Hello everyone,we gathered together with our precious brothers & sisters at TGIS.
Thank God! Today, pretty Tomoko shared her testimony. She told us how she was led to the church and encountered Jesus Christ. We're Greatly touched with that. Thank you Tomoko. It's nice sitting around and hear someone talking.
Fellowship and snack time: how nice sitting altogether, chatting and eating! See you at the next TGIS service!

Part 2 (Posted by Yue)
Icebreak
Yumi lead the game named "WHO AM I?"
We took turns in pretending to be whatever we like,and
we guessed who it was through questions.
the most difficult one was YAMANE..=D
PA
Tomoko organized PC to lead the worship time.
Worship
Ronnie lead the worship time.
We sang four songs.
Message
Wayne led the message.
He always shared his funny joke before messages,anyway.
2 Timonthy 4:2
"Preach the word! Be ready in season and out of season.Convince, rebuke, exhort,
with all long suffering and teaching."
Jude 21~23
1Corinthians 9:22
"To the weak i become as weak, that I might win the weak.
I have become all things to all men, that i might by all means save some."
There are people who don't know about the love of God in the world,
and maybe friends, family, colleagues etc...
We are loved by God, and He wants us to show his love to them everyday!
After Service
We enjoyed talking and eating snacks!
We love this time so much =)
Thank you for reading!
We are looking forward to seeing you too!!!
God bless you♥)
2010.09.18 TGIS Blog (Posted by YuYu)
Hi everyone.
I'm glad to post Blog for the first time. o(>v<)o Here's what happened today.
[Ice break]
Aki led the activity called "Fruits Basket". The people who matched a target description phrase had to exchange seat, for example, "wearing jeans". Then we dashed for other seats. The one who didnt get a seat had to do charade (monomane). It was so funny) We had a lot of fun and exercise.
Kei-san did a great mimic of semi , a cicada.
[Worship]
You are Good
Friend of Gd
At the Cross
How Great is or Gd
[Message]
Kumi, thank you for translating themessage
for us!
-Was Bible written by man or God?
Bible says that written by man, but inspired by God.
- Are there really heaven and hell?
Let's take a look at ... I'm afraid I don't remember anything but Yumi's simple answer. "Of course!"
- Why do religions fight each other?
Bible tells us that love those who believe in other religion.
Finally he shared his closest experience to heaven.
At 23, he had to get surgery because of terrible disease. In his unconsciousness, his mind flew up to the sky higher, and he felt like going to heaven. But he woke up at hospital instead of heaven, unfortunately. I mean fortunately!!
[Testimony]
We had a testimony from Yumi. She shared how she struggled with learning disorder, addiction to smoking, drinking, and taking drugs. However, she got to know Jesus and was transformed completely. Thanks to Yumi for sharing your amazing story.
Thank you Jesus for this dear sister.
After the service, we chatted over juice, chips, pop corn, and chocolate.
We had fantastic time. See you next at the TGIS. (^^)/~~~
Hi Everyone Out There,
Praise His Holy Name!
