On April 16-17, 2022, Tokyo UBF held a hybrid Easter retreat with the theme “All Will Rise in Christ." A total of 52 people attended, 30 online and 22 offline.

The first message was based on the conference theme (1 Corinthians 15:1-34) and was delivered by Y*ako Joya. He was very busy adjusting to his new job since April, but he received much grace while preparing the message. Through his message, the Risen Jesus gave us the word of life and reminded us of His protection in the midst of our sufferings. We have decided to live more actively with the hope of resurrection. S*amuel Jeong delivered the second message with the title "Feed my lambs" (John 21). He successfully completed his doctoral program this March and has been working as a professor at Tsukuba University since April. He was very busy with his work as well, so it was a challenge to prepare a conference message. However, God opened his heart, and he accepted Jesus’ love through John 21. We thank God for renewing our faith in the resurrection through the retreat and for allowing us to receive the love of Jesus and his command to "feed His lambs." We pray that God will use us to lead the lost to Christ.
