Community Life
By Noriko Sakoh
How have you seen God at work in your ministry over the year?
Jesus said, “For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them.” (Matthew 18:20) When people gather not necessarily in person but even online, God is at work nurturing our brotherhood and loving us through people God provides around us. When one of members of our morning meetup had stroke, he was during a meeting with a former member of TUC. Thanks to the swift communication of TUC members, our beloved elder had a good care and now in the stage of his recovery. While he was in the hospital, Pastor Steve and meetup members “gathered” at the hospital, online, and visited him some from Singapore, Malaysia, and even from US! Cares and prayers were on him abundantly. If God was not at work, who else? Women’s Bible study launched in the beginning of the year also is another gathering Jesus certainly has a sheet. Sisterhood nurtured there provide inspirations and encouragement to those who are a part of this gathering. In December, one of the members opened her house and some gathered in person to celebrate Christmas. This community consisted of caring and loving people itself is nothing but God’s gift.
