WHAT I DO

LOVE

THE BEST WAY TO SPREAD GOD’S LOVE IS TO SHOW GOD’S LOVE. THEREFORE, THROUGH MY POSITION AS AN ASSOCIATE PASTOR AT MY CHURCH IN TSUKUBA, JAPAN, I GET INVOLVED IN THE COMMUNITY AND ACTIVELY SHOW THE LOVE OF CHRIST TO EVERYONE WITH WHOM I COME INTO CONTACT.

REACH

THROUGH A CHURCH PLANTING TEAM EFFORT, I REACH PEOPLE IN JAPAN WITH THE GOSPEL THROUGH SPECIALIZED OUTREACH AND TRAINING EVENTS.

LEARN MORE ABOUT MY CHURCH PLATNING TEAM’S VISION HERE.

CREATE

I CREATE AND PRODUCE NEW VIDEO, PRINT, AND DIGITAL DISCIPLESHIP AND OUTREACH RESOURCES SO MORE JAPANESE PEOPLE HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO HEAR THE GOSPEL MESSAGE PREACHED.
THE NEED
Over 99% of the people of Japan DO NOT KNOW JESUS. They are part of the Never Reached.
The Never Reached
Vision // Planting 20 Churches + Recruiting 200

Further, missionaries have been planting churches in Japan for 400 years, yet the Japanese people remain the world’s second largest unreached people group. Something needs to change! We need to do something different! And God has given us a vision to do just that.

Team Vision

HOW TO HELP

PRAY CONTINUALLY

The only way to truly reach the people of Japan for Jesus is by preaching the Word of God by the power of the Holy Spirit and by prayer and fasting. As a result, I need prayer partners. Will you partner with me by committing to pray for Japan, for workers in Japan, and for me?
