God The Creator and Jesus Christ were testified through the works of power in Japan

"The blind receive sight, the lame walk, those who have leprosy are cured, the deaf hear,
the dead are raised, and the good news is preached to the poor." (Matthew 11:5)

Typhoon 'Saomai' which had Nagoya city drenched became calm

The 14th 'Saomai' caused a very heavy rain in Dokai and Nagoya, Japan from September 11 and brought an extensive damage.
'Saomai' was very strong to have the central pressure of 945pha and wind speed of 39 meters per second. About ten people were killed or missed and thirty thousand houses were submerged in Japan. 170,000 people in Nagoya were ordered to evacuate their houses. Shinkansen train service was stopped.

However, after the evening of September 12, the heavy rain stopped and the town became dry. On September 13 when Rev. Jae-Rock Lee and our mission team arrived in Nagoya, the weather was fine and the convention could make a successful progress on September 14 and 15.
Musical Instruments to be used at the convention were kept safely in the heavy rain
Nagoya was flooded with heavy rain. Musical Instrument shop that we made an agreement on the musical instruments for the convention also got submerged. So all their instruments were regarded to be seriously damaged. However, two contrabass, timpani, and set drum to be used for the convention were kept dry from the flood. The shop keepers were surprised. If the musical instruments had been submerged, Nissi Orchestra's performance might have become impossible.

God showed a circular rainbow and let us know He would be with us

* The triple circular rainbows that had the shadow of airplane inside

Whenever we have some event, God shows us a circular rainbow and confirms his covenant. When the delegation Manmin Joong-ang Church looked out the window in the airplane to Osaka on September 14, they could see triple circular rainbows. And the shadow of airplane was in the rainbow. Both our members and other passengers were surprised. They were full of joy.

The Christian Arts were performed

Japanese Praise Team and Nissi Orchestra, Art Mission, Hallelujah Mission, Sound of
Lights, Crystal Singers, Love Dance Mission and Light & Salt Dance Mission had wonderful performance with graceful praises, dancing in the convention. They gave a big glory to God.
Seven deaf & dumbs came to hear and speak after receiving the prayer of Rev. Lee.
Twelve deaf & dumbs attended the convention. They listened the preaching through the finger language and were touched in their hearts. So after the preaching, at the moment Rev. Jae-Rock Lee prayed for sick people, seven of them were healed. They were so excited and gave their testimony.
Nishio Senbiro(24 years old) testified with joy, "I have never heard anything since I was born. I have had a ringing in the ears since two years ago. When Rev. Jae-Rock Lee prayed for the congregation, ringing in the ears disappeared. Now I can hear."
