Over 30 years ago...I came to the town of Sanya in Tokyo...

...Homeless people were laying down or crouching on the road and in the park. They had to camp out and were filled with agony and sorrow. They were discouraged with their lives and had no place to relax. It was a miserable form of existence and they were exposed to intense cold temperatures.
...Jesus's love was pressing on me and the passion of evangelism to save souls was burning in my heart. My body shook and I couldn't stop myself from shouting on the roadside with bible in hand.
...The message of the love of the and Jesus's sacrifice was gushing out and I was screaming rather than preaching...

Dear reverent supporter!

Thanks to everyone's overwhelming support we are celebrating our 7th winter at the new Seisen Church building.
There is still much work ahead as the fact remains, many of the homeless people are still freezing or starving to death... Recently, the government removed the homeless people who had been living in cardboard boxes and made simple tent alongside Sumida River... Similar events took place at Sumida Park.
We want to encourage those brothers who are under the storm of depression and living outside in the cold wintry wind by showing them God's warm love and consolation.
We thank God that you are reading this and pray that the Lord would reach into your hearts so you may desire to help our fellow brothers in Christ.
I pray from my heart that each of you receive rich favor from our Lord Jesus Christ.

Pastor Shito Morimoto
