A LETTER FROM JAPAN
May 1, 2012
Dear Pastor Keith and AMI Churches
We would like to thank you for your partnership with us following the 3.11 East Japan Earthquake 2011. Please see the attached document for the full disaster relief report which we distributed at our church’s annual meeting. Again, thank you for extending support to our country when we needed it. May God bless you,

Pastor Ken (Katsuhiko) Seino - Senior Pastor (Tsuchiura Megumi Church )

THERE'S SOMETHING NEW HAPPENING IN LA THIS SUMMER!
Church of Southland is planting a church in Los Angeles! We believe one of the best ways to see people reached with the gospel is to plant a church that will proclaim and demonstrate the gospel to that community. Please join us as we pray, go and connect.

PRAY! Church planting is a Holy Spirit endeavor, and without the work of God this effort will fail. Join us in pleading with God for the transformation of people and the city.
GO! We are building a team of people to help plant in LA. We are praying for 50 committed Southland members to begin this journey.
CONNECT! Maybe you can’t go, but you know people looking for a church in LA. Help us plant this church by getting them connected.

AMI^TM Institute May 28th-June 8th 2012. The AMI Institute is an annual 2 week program that was created for the purposes of meeting AMI personnel involved in the various branches of the AMI community, to help create a stronger understanding of AMI’s vision, and to establish a more unified fellowship among the AMI churches. The Institute will teach about the AMI philosophy, theology and practice, as it is exhibited within the local church, as well as in the mission field abroad. Attendees will be equipped through courses such as Leadership, Sermon Preparation, Evangelism, Missiology, etc so that they might better serve both the local church and future mission endeavors.

People who are encouraged to attend are one year missionaries or interns, long term missionaries, church staff, church planters, and current and future church leaders; such as elder candidates and small group leaders. If you are interested or would like more information, contact Leslie Kang.
