Tokyo’s Best Church Moves!

Victory Word Church rocks! You guys are the best. I have not seen such a church family that worked so hard. We opened our first facility in Tokyo 22 May 2005 and used this facility until today 27 May 2012.

People have been healed, financial breakthroughs have occurred, the homeless have been helped, people who don’t know Jesus have heard the Word, and countless other events and parties occurred in this first little church of ours.  Our largest event in Tokyo had 83 people in this place.  We’re believing God for even greater things to happen.

Our new place will be ready on Saturday so we stashed much of our sound equipment and stage into whatever extra space we could find.

We didn’t get a picture of everyone (above) but special things to the 20 plus people who worked diligently to get us out of the old building.

I am stoked to get into our new Tokyo church facility on Sunday. We move equipment into the new place on Saturday from 5pm. It will be very nice.

Researchers believe that Jesus, as described in the New Testament, was crucified on Friday April 3, 33 A.D.

This is very interesting as it just confirms what we already know.

In terms of textual clues to the date of the crucifixion, Williams quoted a Nature paper authored by Colin Humphreys and Graeme Waddington. Williams summarized their work as follows:

  • All four gospels and Tacitus in Annals (XV,44) agree that the crucifixion occurred when Pontius Pilate was procurator of Judea from 26-36 AD.
  • All four gospels say the crucifixion occurred on a Friday.
  • All four gospels agree that Jesus died a few hours before the beginning of the Jewish Sabbath (nightfall on a Friday).
  • The synoptic gospels (Matthew, Mark, and Luke) indicate that Jesus died before nightfall on the 14th day of Nisan; right before the start of the Passover meal.
  • John’s gospel differs from the synoptics; apparently indicating that Jesus died before nightfall on the 15th day of Nisan.

Kirk Cameron Shows He Is A True Follower Of Jesus

Under the attack of Piers Morgan, Kirk Cameron does an excellent job explaining how God sees sin and errant living.

Praying for Kirk.  What a wonderful light in this world of compromise and darkness.  We must love our friends living in a homosexual lifestyle but we do not need to love their sin.

Remembering Nation Changer Charles Colson

Charles Colson was a world changer.  We lost a great man of God who shared the love and compassion of Jesus the Messiah and wasn’t ashamed to challenge the world around him.

We are so thankful for Charles Colson.  Your race is done, thank you for being an inspiration.
