Travis' Piano Recital...トラちゃんの発表会


This past Sunday, the 3rd, Travis played at his piano recital. He played "White Christmas" and "The Lord is My Shepherd" by Keith Green.

Travis has really gotten quite good at the piano. But the thing that impressed us was the way that the Holy Spirit was very evident in his playing. His teacher even commented on how his passion really flowed out of his music when he was playing the Keith Green song.

Deborah was there when he was practicing before the recital and she said that as Trav practiced "The Lord..." that the atmosphere in the entire room changed. When everyone had been practicing "regular" songs there were people doing this, that, and the other. Basically, each caught up in there own activity. But as Travis played a hush came over the room and people focused on him and the music.

Please pray for Trav's gifts to minister to MANY people.

この間の日曜日、12月3日に、トラヴィスの発表会がありました。彼は"White Christmas" とKeith Greenの"主は私の牧者"と弾きました。
実は、トラがだいぶ上手になりました。(親バカ...笑)。しかし、一番感動したことは、聖霊様が本当に注ぎました。ピアノの先生も、トラの情熱と気持ちが音楽に流れていると言いました。

デボラはトラと一緒に準備しにいきました。そのときも、「主は私の牧者」と弾いたとき、ホールの雰囲気が完全に変わったと言いました。他の生徒が弾いたとき、いろんな人々がそれぞれの用事を続けました。あちらこちらいろんな人が喋りました。が、トラが弾いたとき、皆が静かになって、皆がその音楽を聴くようになりました。

トラがイエス様のために多く人に触れますように祈ってください。
