Churches in Japan recover as ecumenical spirit shines
For immediate release: 24 March 2011

Candles were lit in the chapel of the Ecumenical Centre in memory of those who were killed by the tsunami and those who now struggle to recover.  As recovery efforts in Japan proceed, the full impact of the earthquake and tsunami two weeks ago continues to be felt by some of the World Council of Churches (WCC) member churches there.  At the same time prayers, letters of solidarity and, in some cases, monetary support are coming in from the ecumenical community in Asia as well as around the world.   In a letter sent yesterday to the churches in Japan, the Rev. Dr Olav Fykse Tveit, general secretary of the World Council of Churches, expressed the “dismay and sorrow” of the world wide church community.  Speaking for the 349 WCC member churches Tveit said, “We pray for God’s grace and divine protection for those who are risking their own lives in order to save others.”  The tragedy has also brought together WCC member churches in Japan as they respond jointly to the needs in the disaster area, said the Rev. Dong Sung Kim, responsible for regional relations with Asia at the WCC.  “The show of support from churches in Asia as well as Europe and around the world is also part of what it means to be the ecumenical community,” Kim said today. media@wcc-coe.orgContact

LOOK UP TO GOD!

Jesus Foretells the Future Luke 21:5-38 5 Some of his disciples began talking about the majestic stonework of the Temple and the memorial decorations on the walls. But Jesus said, 6 “The time is coming when all these things will be completely demolished. Not one stone will be left on top of another!” 7 “Teacher,” they asked, “when will all this happen? What sign will show us that these things are about to take place?” 8 He replied, “Don’t let anyone mislead you, for many will come in my name, claiming, ‘I am the Messiah,’ and saying, ‘The time has come!’ But don’t believe them. 9 And when you hear of wars and insurrections, don’t panic. Yes, these things must take place first, but the end won’t follow immediately.” 10 Then he added, “Nation will go to war against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. 11 There will be great earthquakes, and there will be famines and plagues in many lands, and there will be terrifying things and great miraculous signs from heaven. 12 “But b...

I pray that you will be prepare for the 2nd coming of Jesus?     16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: 17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. 18 Wherefore comfort one another with these words. 1Thessalonians 4:16-18 (KJV) God is Love 1John 4:16 and Jesus Christ is Lord of Heaven and on Earth.

Use Me As An Instrument of Peace

-
Image
Prayer of Saint Francis of Assisi Lord, make me an instrument of your peace. Where there is hatred, let me sow love; where there is injury , pardon ; where there is doubt, faith; where there is despair, hope; where there is darkness, light; and where there is sadness, joy . O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console ; to be understood as to understand; to be loved as to love. For it is in giving that we receive; it is in pardoning that we are pardoned ; and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life. Amen God is Love 1John 4:16

God Said “You Have Not Turned To Me”

God is calling for the people of this country to return to Him. Each day God is reaching out and searching for the hearts of people to turn to Him. Even King David said in the Holy Bible says “When I was in distress, I sought the Lord; at night I stretched out untiring hands and my soul refused to be comforted” (Psalm 77:2 NIV).  Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever. (Hebrews 13:8 NIV) The Word of the Lord God “I brought hunger to every city and famine to every town. But still you would not return to me,” says the Lord. “I kept the rain from falling when your crops needed it the most. I sent rain on one town but withheld it from another. Rain fell on one field, while another field withered away. People staggered from town to town looking for water, but there was never enough. But still you would not return to me,” says the Lord.   “I struck your farms and vineyards with blight and mildew. Locusts devoured all your fig and olive trees. But still yo...
