シカゴのパスクア主教より、フィリピン系アメリカ人超教派教会(PACE)が6月27日に50周年を迎えることになり、愛の樹からのメッセージを依頼されました。50周年のお祝いに、コロナパンデミックを越えて、その先を見据えた祈りが求められており、愛の樹のマグナカルタを中心にしたメッセージを送りました。
パスクア主教はアメリカに亡命中で、永住権を得るべく行動していますが、新型コロナウイルス感染症の影響で審問等が延期されているそうです。また、6月19日には娘のトゥインクルがフィリピンで結婚するとのことです。

Dear Kazuko-san and my Ainoki family,
Praise and thanks to God for His amazing grace! For wonderful blessing He continues to pour on one and all of you in and through Ainoki Family. Thank you so much for your gift i just received this morning. You know i have really been earnestly praying about some needs i was faced this time. Earlier i was thinking about my hearing with immigration court. Also, Twinkle or she has chosen a new name for herself, Atty. Elize, is getting married this June 19 (i’ll be the bride’s father in absencia). The third one, is of PAEC’s 50th Anniversary on June 27th. Preparations in getting through the actual ocasion are always more taxing. Fortunately or unfortunately, my lawyer informed me that the immigration court again postponed my hearing apparently due to pandemic. What a big sigh of relief your help is as we (Precy and me) join and support Twinkle in her wedding.
On our fothcoming PAEC 50th Anniversary on June 27 may I request a word of greeting from you wishing and praying for us even during the pandemic and beyond. Thank you and God bless each one and the whole Ainoki circle.
Blessings,
Eli-san

GREETINGS to everybody in PAEC and Bishop PASCUA from us all in AINOKI Church
June 2021
Firstly, let us congratulate you on your 50 th Anniversary.
Thinking of the days and years you must have had, sometimes with favorable wind and sometimes through strong headwind, we imagine. And you have reached this place! It is great! Now the new step starts on this legacy guarded and guided by Almighty God!
Since we got to know of you PAEC through Bishop Pascua, you have been in our prayer all the time as our brothers and sisters.
Now that we humans are facing big difficulties that no one in this era have experienced before, let us pray together sincerely and ardently to God to give us Godʼs Wisdom and Power and to save the world and the humans being so weak and sinful.
We really wish to see the light of hope and to step up towards the days with God.
Here we would like to quote the Words that came directly from God to our leader and paster the late Reverend Aikawa Paul Hideo (Oshochi) for all the people in this world.
