The heavenly praises  started flooding upon us on January 17, 2000, the fifth

anniversary of the Great Hanshin Earthquake. The very first praise was "Holy, Alleluia" from
the book of the Revelation, followed by many more heavenly praises  from the Revelation. The
Revelation Praises opened up a new era for us, and became a turning point of Kohitsuji no
Mure.

Celestial praises have been given and is being given to us through Mitsuko since

January 2000. Heavenly praises  are born from various books in the Old and New Testaments
such as Revelation, Psalms, Isaiah, Gospels and Epistles, as well as from the nature such as
flowers, stars, rainbows, rain and wind. Every creature of God has its own tune glorifying the
Lord. Mitsuko cannot read musical notes nor has musical background, but when she attunes
herself to the words of the Bible and the nature, she hears new praises. Those praises are taken
into notation just as she hears them without adding any change. As of April 2005, more than 500
praises are written in musical notation. We sing them in our worship services.

We believe they are the heavenly praises  that come directly from God and the

Lamb slain. God's will has become clearer to us through heavenly praises. They are not only to
heal and renew us, but also to heal and save the earth at this critical time. We have held praise
concerts in many places in Japan since May 2000 and in New York City with this faith. We
believe that the pure resounding tune of the heavenly praises will heal the wounded earth and
protect the land from disasters such as terrorist attacks and earthquakes.
