✳️ Revival.

...Yesterday, I attended the worship service at Minami Osaka Gospel Church, and after the service, I heard many testimonies from Pastor Fukuno.

...The church name and the pastor's name are not very prominent.
He is a natural and easygoing pastor, but he very welcomes the Holy Spirit, and the worship service was one of the most rare I've ever seen elsewhere... a worship service of God's presence.

...There is talk of the decline of Christian churches...😨
This church... continues to grow.

…They have established about 20 home churches nationwide (including one in Kadena, Okinawa), and have made several of them independent… Even without advertising, they attract 100 to 200 people…😨
…They simply rely on the Holy Spirit and are encouraged by it to move forward, but… Their evangelism methods are also unique, and yesterday, a new person was saved😵
✳️…One of these is "family evangelism"…
By leading the grandparents of the family to salvation first… Funerals become Christian, and children and grandchildren attend the funerals, thus being exposed to Christianity and being saved.
…
✳️There are two Sunday services.
There are two branch churches.
The pastors are quiet and inconspicuous…😨
…It was a truly valuable learning opportunity regarding the future direction of the church.

…What surprised me was…the young couple who came from that church in May had a picture of Shogo on their refrigerator…and they pray to him every day 🛐
…😢
See photo.
…Our church also hopes to move forward, encouraged by the Holy Spirit❗️

Shalom 😄
