Our vision is to Pioneer and Partner to establish Light Giving Churches in Japan.
Tell people that you are a missionary in India or Africa and they probably won't act surprised. Tell them you work in Japan and they tend to ask why!
This article is about my experiences in going to 'AsiaCon', WEC's regional Asia conference in October 2009, and what God taught me there.
I have been working in Otsu city, a rural area of Japan, population 320,000, 25 minutes by train outside of Kyoto city the old capital of Japan. It is mainly residential, with most of the working population in our area travelling into the bigger cities of Kyoto and Osaka for their work.
Christmas is approaching, so we want to enable you to pray for our Christmas events!
• The Kitamuras have been invited to present the meaning of Christmas to the elderly and children in their neighbourhood association, who have no understanding of Christianity. Elaine ask, ‘Please pray that we will know what to present, and how to present it.’
• Two of our gospel choirs will perform a Christmas festival on the 5th at Kyoto’s town hall; pray for the fullness of God's blessing there.
