Heart's Journey ~: My Former Church - Aino Kyoukai (愛の教会）

愛の教会

my last shot

Aino Kyoukai. After about four years of staying in this church, we ended up to goodbyes and farewells. I leaved this church around February, 2008.
愛の教会。　だいたい四年間、この教会で通いました。　そして、今年の二月おわかれしまた。

Goodbyes actually doesn't mean an end, but a beginning for a new journey. This church is always a part of me, and always in my prayers.
お別れはきっぱり最後と言うのも限りない、それは新しい旅のはじまりです．この教会はあたしの人生の一部、あたしのお祈りの中には、いつもはいています。

For all the members of this church, I want to give thanks to Sachico san. I will never forget that simple words of encouragement she gave me during those time. That particular time, when my biggest proposal in life was been rejected, and I still figuring out how to control my mixed emotions. Honestly, no one from the church had I heard any words, only but from Sachico san. And I can say that she is already a trained matured Christian.
この教会の仲間の中、さちこさんに一番感謝してます。　あの時の優しい言葉忘れません。　あの時、あたしの人生の中に、たぶｎ一番大きいな決断､その時こたわりました、そして自分の勝ってる気持ちどうやってコントロールするのは、あたまがいっぱいです。　正直言うと、あの時さちこさんは、クリスチャンとして、訓練された大人だなと思いました。

After I leaved the church, Sachico san is the only one who gives me updates and activities infos. And really so thankful. For whatever reasons behind, I am so thankful that the church is working out for new ventures, and is working for God. And really praying that all the members of this church and the new attendees, will received Jesus Christ, and be filled with the power of the Holy Spirit, all for the glory of God.
教会から離れたあとに、さちこさんだけ突けて教会の事教えてくれてるのです。それは、そごく感謝してます。うらにはどんな理由があるのかどうか、愛の教会の新しい出来事、神様のためにだったらば、そごく感謝してます。　この教会のメンバーたちと新しいメンバーほんとうに、イエス様受け入れる、そして聖霊にめされて、神様の栄光のために。

I was able to upload two pictures Sachico san sent me through phone.さちこさんからメールからむらった写真です。

This is Yui chan. She is already attending the service and playing the piano.　ゆいちゃん、礼拝中でピアノを簸てます。
Yui chan was always there at the church only during special events, and later every Sunday. But not during the worship service, but after worship service and joins us our lunch time.

And now, she is already playing piano during service time. Praying for this girl that she may finally accept Jesus Christ, together with her mother.

This is a shot from my flickr archieve, and we can see here Sachico san, the girl in black is my daughter Yurina, and the third from her is Yui chan, which is sitting beside the girl in red.
