Welcome to the TGIS (Thank God It's Saturday) blog for this week January 15th Saturday. This is what went on.

Icebreak 
We started off with this neat game where 3 people are involved. If Akiko the game master said you're a rabbit then the middle person will hold up his two hands to make ears and the right and left person will hold on to the middle person and stomp their outer food saying pyong! pyong! pyong! We did this for and elephant, snake, cow and AKB 48. It was a fun and refreshing time.

Worship and Testimony
Next we had Pastor Elmer and Mamiko worship leading us into the presence of Almighty God. This is what TGIS is all about to worship Jesus the King of Kings!
We had a refreshing testimony by our new brother Sam who has come to work in Tokyo. He talked about how he was born into a Christian family and moved from Hong Kong to Singapore. He got his college degree at Cambridge Uni in the UK. His early life there was only a head knowledge of Jesus, but in his college years, he came to know Jesus with his heart.

Message
The message was done by this guy from Hawaii,but I forgot his name. Anyway, he talked about the theme For One Life and in our lives we need to know what value, priorities, and commitment is all about so we can make a difference for one life. He also talked about triage in a disaster prioritize: red means critical, yellow-caution or serious and can become critical, green-minor or walking wounded and black is dead or imminent.

Again the interpreting from English to Japanese was by our sister Kumi.
We closed with a last song by Mamiko, and fellowship time.
We had 4 newcomers and we thank them for coming.

So please come and join us this Saturday from 2 pm.

God bless you.
