Last weekend was fantastic! Hillsong United Band came to Tokyo from Australia for one night and we saw 1900 people pack the hall of Aoyama Gakuin University.
Tickets were sold out two weeks before the event and the people were lining up in the rain for over an hour to get in and grab a good seat. There was nothing stopping them! Some had travelled hours for the concert - it was soo great and the United team love Tokyo and really enjoyed playing at the service.
They played around 20 songs and around 200 people responded to call to follow Christ. Which is amazing for Japan!
Before their concert at 630pm. Jesus Lifehouse had their own service which you can see photos of here and the video of here. I don't know the numbers exactly but I believe it was around 600-700. Our biggest ever service! Again, we had many new visitors and people responded to the call to follow Christ.
So for the next 5 Sundays at Jesus Lifehouse we are having 3 church services in downtown Tokyo (Aakaska). As a trial and to accomodate for the current growth. It's going to be awesome and a new challenge for the teams that serve.
I've also revamped the www.jesuslifehouse.tv site and have got some good feedback (Let me know what you think). Adding video news and also the new photo gallery. So far in the last 3 days there has been around 10GB of downloads (highest ever) which is obviously from promotion over the weekend. I'm so excited about all the Japanese people hearing the messages in their language week by week. Isn't it great?!
As for the Tensens, we are doing well with Oma Tensen here, enjoying Tokyo and spending time with Mia. It's been great! I'll try and post some photos of ShakujiiKoen park that we visited last Saturday soon too.
