First Day of Japan's Nationwide Retreat Full of God's Grace

2017 Japan Retreat

 

Japan's nationwide retreat with the theme "Emancipation, Freedom, and Hope" began on May 3 with the powerful work of the Holy Spirit. For the opening service, Pastor Aileen Suh delivered the message, as the attendants sought to understand the importance of God's Word.

The Bible lectures on sin, taken from Romans 1-3, were given by Pastor Hannah Lee. All members were led to meditate deeply on how sinful humanity is and how much love and forgiveness is revealed on the cross. All members were deeply touched by the grace of God, received strength and had a resting time within God's word.

The night's praise and Zion festival were a passionate time when everyone could join their hearts in singing praise to God and experiencing the love of God deeply.
