Partner with us as we bring the blessing of Jesus Christ to the 5 million Japanese people in our prefecture who have not once heard the gospel!
Gifts toward specific efforts show us what you are excited about. Occasionally, we may redeploy gifts as we follow God's leading with urgent opportunities or changing international contexts. Any gifts received beyond the goal go toward a similar project or our team support.
Hospitality - Connecting, Making, and Growing Healthy Disciples
Hospitality opens the door for us to get to know Japanese people in a more relaxed environment, which often leads guests to share deeper feeling and the struggles they face. The Lord is using hospitality to draw Japanese people to Himself! Your gift will help us host hospitality nights in our home to reach the lost and also teach our Japanese brothers and sisters to utilize their homes for hospitality as a tool for evangelism and discipleship.
Next Generation Focus
“The youth of today are the leaders of tomorrow.” It is critical that we reach the next generation for Christ! Join us as we work with our Japanese partners to focus our prayers, evangelism, discipleship, and leadership development on the next generation of Japan. Your gift will help us host NextGen activities from board games to movie night, Bible idioms to English conversation, Bible study to salvation, discipleship to multiplication!
Advance His Kingdom
Romans 10 asks how nonbelievers can come to Christ if they have never heard the good news – and how will they hear unless someone tells them? Your gift will cover our travel expenses as we go to the unreached areas of our city and country to tell them about the gift of eternal life through Jesus Christ. “As it is written, ‘How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the good news!’”
“Hospitality” breaks barriers and brings reconciliation! Manami is a Japanese student who spent a couple of nights with a Japanese Christian family in Tokyo. During her stay, she expressed curiosity about Christianity. Since Manami lives in another city, our missionary friends connected us. We soon invited her to our apartment to cook Thai Green Curry together with our teammates. We all enjoyed our time getting to know one another.
Several weeks later, Manami attended a Christian homestay program in Florida. While there, she witnessed the love of Christ in and through her host family. She returned with a desire to know more about Jesus and the Bible. One day, after sharing the gospel message with Manami, we asked if she was ready to repent and call on Jesus as Savior. Sadly, she was not.
We continued spending time with Manami and invited her to join a Bible Study led by a Japanese couple who open their apartment to disciple young believers. There, Manami met and heard the testimonies of Japanese Christians. Although she enjoyed the gatherings, her class schedule and part-time jobs made it difficult to attend regularly. So, teammates worked out a schedule with Manami to study the Bible with them.
During the school break, Manami spent time with her family and shared with her mom about Jesus and what she learned from the Bible. After the break, Manami returned to Bible study and said “Yes!” to Jesus; she repented of her sins, calling on Christ to be her Lord and Savior! Since then, the couple has discipled her, and she is growing in spiritual maturity!
