Michtam concert

Michtam

Meaning: writing; i.e., a poem or song

found in the titles of Ps. 16; 56-60

Some translate the word "golden", i.e., precious. It is rendered in the LXX. by a word meaning "tablet inscription" or a "stelograph." The root of the word means to stamp or grave, and hence it is regarded as denoting a composition so precious as to be worthy to be engraven on a durable tablet for preservation; or, as others render, "a psalm precious as stamped gold," from the word kethem, "fine or stamped gold." (WebBibleEncyclopedia)

Chu Kosaka pastor and leader of a praise and worship group called Michtam has been faithfully serving in Japan for the past 30 years. He and his team seek to write and sing praises that are written by and for Japanese who desire to express their love and worship for God in their own heart language. Although Japan has been blessed by many praise and worship songs that have been imported and translated from the West, his latest CD entitled "Rising Sun" seeks to give back to the global Church by translating some original Japanese praise and worship into English.

At tonight's concert entitled "Deai" (Encounter), Chu Kosaka shared his heart's desire that all would encounter God's love that can save and heal those who are lost and heavy burdened. The night was filled with "precious as stamped gold psalms".
