Japan Fire is an international Conference that celebrates various art forms from African American Culture including: Gospel Music; Dance (Hip Hop, Mime and Praise); and this year we will introduce Theater.  Art Lovers from all over Japan (Haikido to Okinawa) as well as from all across the US will converge on Fukuoka for five days and culminate with a Showcase, Stage Play, Dance Concert and LIVE Recording.  Also new this year, the Evangelistic Dept, under Bishop Terry Jones will host activities (educational, ministry, outreach) for non singers/dancers.

TPW (Thanksgiving, Praise and Worship) is both artist and ministry!  Their music is phenomenal and their artistic presentation is second to none. Pastor Andre' and TPW have ministered in Japan twenty times and hosted Japan Fire 1, 2, and 3.  Their original composition FIRE was introduced in Japan over 15 years ago and it is still one of the most popular Black Gospel songs in the nation of Japan.  TPW was founded by Pastor Andre' Reynolds and is headquartered in Birmingham, Alabama and has ministered all over the states and in India, Italy, and Ireland.

Pastor Andre' is the founder of TPW International Ministries (TPW, Inc.).  He has worked for several churches as Minister of Music, Musician, and Assistant to the Pastor for over thirty five years.  His formal training was from the University of Alabama where he majored in Computer Science.  He worked for the public and private sector as a computer professional for over 24 years.  He currently owns Omega Solutions a I.T. company that specializes in web solutions and graphic arts.
