“Lift up your heads, O you gates! And be lifted up, you ancient doors! And the King of glory shall come in.” (Psalm 24:7)

Since the last gathering in Okinawa, the Lord has been doing wonderful things in Japan — generations, churches, and nations are walking together in Christ. The Lord in His mercy has now prepared for another Gathering in Kobe, Japan next year from May 4-6, 2015. Kobe is a significant city in which the catastrophic earthquake hit back in January, 1995. Twenty years later, the Lord in His grace is calling the families of all nations to come forward and comfort the nation of Japan. In choosing the location for the gathering, through a time of discernment, the Japanese leaders were specifically drawn to the name “Kobe” (神戸) — the word “Kobe” literally means “God’s door” in Chinese characters. Japan is thought of as the land of the rising sun, it is also within the region of the Eastern Gate. We believe that the season for Japan is now. We believe that in Kobe, the Lord will open wide the ancient gates for His glory to enter the land! Please come and join us as we witness the miraculous work He will do in our land!
