* Monday sessions tend to be about 50% fellowship time and 50% prayer ministry time. This is due to the unique dynamics of The Decision Cafe's schedule.

** Wednesday sessions are much more focused on prayer & intercession as The Decision Cafe is reserved for the Altar IHOP, Tokyo on these evenings.

***Sunday sessions are focused on teaching on a wide variety of topics and themes related to the prayer & worship movement. They include such things as the deeper revelations of the Word. The prophetic, intimacy with the Holy Spirit, spiritual warfare & necessity of intercession and passionate worship on the part of the saints, operating and maturing in the spiritual gifts that we may walk in the fullness of the great commission... and most importantly the "greater love has none than this..." which Jesus spoke of in reference to John the Baptist's execution. Please come and join us.

****NIGHTWATCH sessions consist of at least 12 hours of prayer & worship on a variety of topics & themes. Please refer to the facebook group for more complete details on each event.

****NIGHTWATCH ナイトウォッチセッションは幅広いトピックとテーマについて、少なくとも12時間の祈りとワーシップから構成されます。イベントについてさらに詳しくお知りになりたい方は、どうぞfacebook groupをご参照ください。

ANNOUNCEMENT: Oh-no! HOP Bloopers!!

Hello All!

In my zeal and zealousness to get things on my "to-do" list done in addition to having a calendar with holidays from multiple countries I have to confess... "Eee I made a mistake."

The 1st Night Watch session we were scheduled to have on May 24/25, 2009 at my place was made while looking at a holiday in the USA. This means, in Japan, Monday May 25th is NOT a day off for most people. This also means it will be impossible for those currently working in a traditional environment to attend a Night Watch session scheduled at that time.

So, what does this mean exactly?

Great question! Thanks so much for asking. Haha! :-) And yes... I have a plan already worked out.

The plan is: (drum roll please)

May 24/25th will NOT be our first Night Watch session.

LOL! (I feel like a genius for coming up with this plan by the way- hee hee.)

That said, the May schedule and the Night Watch schedule postings will be updated in the next day or two. Please check back Sunday or Monday for the most current and... ahem.... correct revisions.

Finally, please accept my sincere apologies at the oversight and for any inconveniences incurred.

Thank you Abba for GRACE and bloopers that remind us to laugh at ourselves!

こんにちは皆様！

自分のやらなければならない仕事を終わらせるため懸命になっていたのと、その上いろいろな国のカレンダーを持っているのでうっかりしており、ここで告白しなければならないことがでてきました。。。。私は勘違いをしていました。

私の自宅で2009年5月２４ー25日に行うはずの第1回ナイトウォッチ（夜の見張り祈り会）は、私がアメリカのカレンダー上の休日を見ている間に予定をたてました。これはつまり、日本の5月25日の月曜日は、ほとんどの方々にとってはお休みではありません。この意味はまた、伝統的な環境で働いている方々にとっては、その日に予定されているナイトウォッチに参加するのは不可能だということです。

それでは、これはどういうことを言っているのでしょうか？

すばらしい質問です！お尋ねくださってどうもありがとうございます。。。ハハ！私はすでに計画を立て直しました。その計画とは（ドラムの音を鳴らしてください。）5月２４－25日は第1回ナイトウォッチは行われません。ご覧下さい！（ところで、こんな計画を思いつくなんて天才的な感じがしています。－ヘヘッ。）

5月とナイトウォッチに関するスケジュールは次の２、３日の間に更新をしてお知らせします。

どうぞ日曜日か月曜日にこのブログに戻ってきて、最新の正しく訂正されたスケジュールをご確認ください。

最後に、私の勘違いによって皆様にご不便をおかけしたことを、心からお詫び申し上げます。

アバ、父よ、あなたの恵みと、自分自信を笑うことを思い出させてくださって、このおっちょこちょいな者たちを感謝します！

ANNOUNCEMENT: May 2009 Schedule

Konichiwa minasama!
Please see below for May's sessions. We will have fewer sessions this month due to "Golden Week" as the cafe will be closed. The owner is taking a well deserved and much needed break.

There is also a special event this month! We are going to have our first of three "Night Watch" sessions which are scheduled between now and September. The session is open to all but an RSVP is required. The maximum number my place can hold is 12 and the minimum number of persons to conduct the event is 3.

Looking forward to what God is going to bring about in the next month!

ANNOUNCEMENT: Night Watch Sessions

Greetings Tribe!

We are turning up the heat a few notches in our furnace and going to expand to the night hours...

We are planning three (3) night watch sessions to get things started. We will need a minimum of three (3) participants to host a session. So, please, please put the dates on your calendars and RSVP!

Night Watch Session 1- "there is no box"

Sunday/Monday

May 24/25, 2009 > changed to July 19/20, 2009

Details: our theme scriptures are John 3.8 & Habakkuk 2.14

• some of our prayer focus will be on breaking the church (and ourselves) out of her comfort zones and into becoming so filled with the Spirit that she can become fluid and organic like the wind

Prophetic Image: a field of dandelions which have gone to seed- the wind comes and blows away all of the seeds so they can be dispersed in different areas to be planted, grow and blow away with the wind

• the field of dandelions represents the church, the body of Christ
  
• a dandelion represents individual believers
  
• blowing away represents being surrendered to and being led by the Spirit 
• being dispersed represents the apostolic calling of the NT church to spread the gospel in areas where there is not yet "...knowledge of the glory of the Lord..." 

Night Watch Session 2-  "greater love = greater works"

Sunday/Monday

July 19/20, 2009> changed to September 20/21, 2009

Details: our theme scriptures are John 15.12-14,  Ephesians 5.25,  1 Corinthians 13, Song of Songs 8.7 & John 14.12

• some of our prayer focus will be on obtaining and releasing deeper revelations of the love Jesus demonstrated so that we can understand the true value of His gems (the peoples of the earth and the spiritual gifts He's given us to use to minister His glory, honor and testimony of His name)

Prophetic Image: someone pointing a gun at a beautiful woman then, the woman's husband stepping in front of his beloved to protect her... he gets shot and dies, she lives

• the gun is the curse of death that has come into the world through sin
• the bullet is the fruit of sin
• the woman is the bride of Christ
• the woman's husband is Jesus
• the husband taking the bullet is Jesus' demonstration of His love for his bride and the role of lover & protector he fulfills in His role as the head of the household

Night Watch Session 3- "harvest fields"

Sunday/Monday

September 20/21, 2009. changed to October 11/12, 2009

Details: our theme scriptures are Psalm 107.37, Isaiah 9.3, Luke 10.2, Genesis 28.3, Leviticus 26.3-5, Isaiah 32.14-16

• some of our prayer focus will be petitioning for a great raising up of laborers to work in Abba's fields, for the harvest to come in and most importantly for the body of Christ to get ready for the harvest by walking in alignment with God's word

Prophetic Image: a dry barren landscape being prayed over by more and more individuals- suddenly, drops of rain  begin to fall on by one until it's raining very hard then, the sun comes out and seeds long buried underground start springing up

• the dry barren land is asia
• the individuals praying are the intercessors God is connecting and drawing together daily
• the fields are families, schools, companies, cities, nations, government structures and every manner of organizational structure 
• the rain is the living water that's released to break the curse of spiritual and physical famine due to sin and rebellion
• the sun is the light of life
• the seeds are places that the Word has already been planted but as of yet unable to grow for lack of light and water

Additional Details

Location: Chiba (i.e. Jen's Place)

Station Name: Chiba New Town Chuo

Start Time: 6pm- 8pm arrival, dinner and fellowship

Prayer Session Start Time: 8pm ~ TBA 

Things to Bring: self, bible, sketchbook, journal, whatever you need to "get into God", food or snacks to share

Final Notes: one room will be a dedicated prayer room- there will be enough space for those who need to get some rest however, I only have two futons and a sofa so please bring a sleeping bag if you have one and think you'll use it- thanks :-)
