9月11日から「神の臨在をもてなす」の集りを毎週金曜日
（＊＊８月のハーベスト集会はありません。＊＊）
７月１７日、台風の真っ只中、沢山の方々と一緒に主のご臨在を楽しみました。マークバンヤード氏から「神の臨在をもてなす」事について、素晴らしいメッセージを頂きました。
私達はいつか遠い将来にではなく、今キリストの十字架を通して神様の住まいとされました。また、互いにキリストにあって繋がっており、霊の家に建てられています。
今後のハーベストセミナーについてのお知らせです。今までは、毎回分科会などを予定していましたが、しばらくは、礼拝と預言的な宣言の時をもち、祈り合いと励まし合いの時にしたいと思います。
ひたすらイエス様を楽しみましょう！期待していらして下さい！

August 2015 News
“Hosting His Presence” Meetings Weekly from Sept 11th
(***There will be NO HARVEST MEETING for AUGUST ***)
We had a wonderful time in the middle of a typhoon on July 17th, with a bunch of hungry people and Mark Banyard from Tokyo, who shared with us on the high calling we have both individually and corporately to “Host His Presence”.
God has called us to build an altar of worship, both individually and corporately. We are also called to pray for the body of Christ to receive an impartation of the Father’s heart, an understanding of the authority we carry in Christ, to be activated for ministry, and to be equipped to walk in their Kingdom destiny and purpose.
We have been holding our Harvest Seminars monthly for the last several years, but feel to shift focus slightly and just “Waste a night on Jesus” each week in worship, prophetic declaration, and some prayer and ministry for one-another.

Japan Missions Training Course: Sept to Dec 2015
We have felt God calling us to start a Training Centre/ Apostolic Centre here in Nishinomiya;
We don’t have a building just yet, but we are stepping out in this call, and planning a 12-week Missionary Training Course for this September, to give English-speaking missionaries who have a long-term vision for ministry in Japan a foundation in both standing strong spiritually while ministering in Japan as well as practical aspects of language learning and understanding the culture.
The course will also cover many practical issues of how to begin discipling Japanese with a view for planting house churches.
Check the PDF course information online here: http://www.onfire.jp/MTC_Flyer_2015.pdf
(Dates and details may be changed according to need.)

Please let us know if you’re interested!

“A message to non-church-going Japanese Christians”
There are from 800,000 to 2 million Japanese believers that don’t go to church!
Of course, there are many reasons for this: some work on Sundays and many see themselves as Christians but don’t particularly feel the need.
However, this encouragement message is particularly for those who are wounded by past church experiences or those who are afraid of the religious obligations related to becoming a regular church member.
Check it out here, and pass it on to your Japanese friends:

YouTube teaching video (18 minutes)

We also have many other short teaching videos and blog posts on the theme “Theology Refresher”; the response from Japanese believers has been great.
Check out our YouTube channel here and the articles in Japanese on the Onfire homepage and pass them on to your Japanese friends.
If you’re not Japanese but praying for Japan and the Japanese believers, please pray for a revelation and shift in core values in the church as God reveals His life-giving love to the church and prepares Japan for harvest! Thank-you that you’re partnering with us for a harvest in this great nation.
