Easter Baptism, Celebration Service, & Praise Report from Japan

Happy Easter.  Jesus is risen!!  Easter Sunday is probably the most important Christian event each year as we celebrate our Lord Jesus’ victory over death.  Now it’s even more exciting when we can witness that victory through the new lives birthing into the Kingdom.  So on Sunday, April 8, there are seven people declaring their faith through water baptism: Yi Chang (益昌), his wife Yu Ju (玉如), their son Wei Chieh (韋傑), their daughter Jo Yun (若韵), Yu Ju’s mother Chin-Lan (金蘭), Sharon (月霞), and Vern & Dee’s 2nd boy Joseph.  Six of them will be baptized in beautiful Kahala Beach Park and Joseph will be baptized at church in the evening.  So please come to the beach baptism at 11:30am and give your love and support to these “new-born babies” in the Kingdom!

Also, come to the 5pm service as well and listen to their powerful testimonies.  Invite your friends to come as well, and please let Pastor Mei Li know how many friends are coming so we would know how much food we should prepare.  If you are bringing a dish to share in the evening, please also let Pastor Mei Li know so she can coordinate.

In addition to the exciting celebration that we are having here in Hawaii, I want to let you know God is also doing wonderful thing in Japan as well.  Please read Brian & Yuka’s praise report below, and let us rejoice together on both sides of the Pacific!

Aloha,
Will
