こんにちは！(Konnichiwa!)
We love Japan and we want people here to know how much they’re loved by Jesus.
We moved to Tokyo in 2025 to share the good news of the gospel and build up the church in Japan and we’d love to invite you to partner with us!
The need in Japan
Of the more than 124 million people living in Japan, only 1% are Christian, putting them near the top of the list of the top 10 largest unreached people groups in the world.
There are approximately 8,000 Protestant churches in Japan, compared to ~300,000 in the U.S (pre-Covid data). 70% of churches in Japan report that they have less than 30 attendees.
With so few Christians and Christian churches, it's estimated that 95% of Japanese people will never have a meaningful interaction with a Christian in their lifetime, let alone hear the good news of the gospel.
Though most Japanese people cite both Buddhism AND Shintoism as their "religion", it's a well agreed upon fact that Japan is a highly secular nation and the majority of people are functional atheists or agnostics (anywhere from 50-85% of the population). Most Japanese people don’t believe in anything beyond their present, physical reality. For many, daily reality in Japan means facing crushing work hours, a stagnant economy, and prevailing social isolation.
Japan is in need of the hope of Christ.
Our goal is to gather a team who will support us and the church in Japan through giving and praying on a recurring basis.
We’ve been given a great gift in the knowledge of who Jesus is and the life that he offers. His generosity towards us compels us to share what we’ve been given with the people of Japan.
We can’t do this alone and we’re extremely grateful to anyone who comes alongside us.
“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and the God of all comfort. He comforts us in all our affliction, so that we may be able to comfort those who are in any kind of affliction, through the comfort we ourselves receive from God.”
2 Corinthians 1:3-4
