The adjacent land
has been given to our church!!
Someone from other church gave an offering to our church.
Amazing grace!! Praise the Lord of miracles.
Look, everybody! We now have approx. 3,300
m
2
altogether!!
Have you ever seen such an expanse of land?
3,300m
2
! (It's enormous!)
Today, we planted cherries, weeping cherries, myrtles, firs and magnolia.
We even planted pretty peaches!
We hammered in stakes!!
Everyone helped with the weeding!!
We perspired!!
After the Sunday service, when we had already worked up a good sweat
singing gospel songs, and then...
We set to work on our Jesus garden, pulling out the weeds on our new tract
of land!!
How neat and tidy we made it! We will plant pink cherries all around,
Just like a park...
In the middle we will build a tombstone of natural stone
And on the tombstone will be written "Gate of Heaven."
It will be a wonderful tombstone.
Christian tombs are filled with hope and joy.
Please come to visit us one day.
We mean to plant herbs,
Why don't you join us for a cup of herb tea?
We will plant a lawn where we can lie down and look at the sky and dream!!
Surrounded by flowers throughout the year,
We will have a barbecue and sing hymns, while the children run and play.
And all this in front of the tomb! Isn't it wonderful?
We will spread the Gospel out from the "Gate of Heaven" tombstone,
Which doesn't look like a tombstone.
The death of a Christian is not the end.
In
3,300m
2
of ground
We have a beautiful chapel, three log houses,
And the "Gate to Heaven" tombstone.
Through the grace of God which passes all understanding.
Let's unfurl our heavenly banner.
Let us be bold in our prayers.
Let us gather and receive. Let's win.
The work of the Lord is ever advancing.
Onward! Onward!
NO.31 The Land next to Our Church Has Also Been Given to Us
