A Concert or a Worship Experience?
The HGF All Japan Combined Concert last June 15 was a truly blessed bridging event.
Each member sang with power and joy in their hearts. The good news of Jesus Christ was shared in testimony and song. Many of our songs were traditional hymns that were performed with new arrangements. That is why the concert theme was Renewal! In John 3:7 Jesus said, you must be born again. No doubt, we experienced a time of worship.
Pray that many of the members will be born again in spirit.

Praise the Lord with us for His grace, provision, and protection.

We have already received 50% of the funds. There is a balance of about $5,000 that needs to be paid off. Our gospel concerts have proven to be a very effective and innovative way to share the good news of Jesus Christ to thousands of Japanese for the past 13 years.
