Isaiah Ogawa leading Saved by the Blood of the Crucified One---one of my favorites in both languages.
This morning Kato-san, the only graduate this year, preached from Isaiah 55:5. I did not take notes in my Bible, so I do not remember what he spoke about. His delivery was good and he will be effective as an assistant pastor at his home church.
The singing was great, the spirit is good and God is moving.
Mark Herbster preached the second message this morning from Genesis 39 about Joseph and fleeing temptation. He faithfully served his master and had a good testimony. Satan wants to ruin our testimony any way he can. The time of temptation is when we are strong. The truth of God is persistent, persuasive. Joseph repeatedly told Potiphar's wife NO, daily. Joseph had decided in advance that to sin against God would be worse than doing any sin. He recognized the consequences of disobedience. "How can I do this great wickedness and sin against God?" When the wife finally caught him, he fled and left quickly. Run as fast as you can in the other direction. Joseph is an excellent example of putting God first and asking Him to help in time of need.

Ron White preached in the evening service from Isaiah 43:18 which admonishes us not to remember the former things, neither consider the things of old.
1) The promise is for now. God is getting ready to do something. We are not to be discouraged about what has not happened in the past, as far as the work here in Japan is concerned. God is ready to do a new thing. Phil. 3:13 and 2 Cor. 5:17.
At the end of the service, all the graduates of KIBBS who were in the service sang the final medley. They had NO practice. Jenny Harris played piano and Ron led.
