(OH-sah-kah) – Our Osaka Team helps support existing churches in the area. We are hearing encouraging reports of increased evangelistic activity, growing membership, baptisms, and a renewed confidence among Japanese pastors to try new approaches. At our team office, language exchanges and game parties are so well attended that we almost need more space. Students are returning from Christian homestays having come to faith or with a genuine interest in attending church and learning what it means to be a Christian. Young believers are learning how to disciple others and are boldly sharing their faith. We believe this is because you are praying and God is working. Please continue to pray, and let’s watch God do amazing work among the Japanese in Osaka and throughout Japan.
