Chiharu Kitamura was one woman forever impacted by the event. She said she felt God tugging at her heart as Rev. Akira Sato shared the Gospel message and expressed a desire to follow Him.

According to the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association (BGEA) Rev. Sato shared a powerful message of his church—which had been evacuated and its congregation scattered from the 2011 earthquake—coming together again recently.

Singer Mihoko Yasuda also shared her testimony of how her violent late husband changed drastically after accepting Christ as his Savior.

Osaka pastor Sumako Furubayashi praised the move of the Holy Spirit during the luncheon saying, "From the bottom to the top, it's answered prayer."
