One man, <\/span>\u201c<\/span>Mr<\/span> S<\/span>\u201d<\/span>,<\/span> was the only believer in his village for all his adult life, until God led our workers to live there. Now three of his life-long friends join us regularly on Sundays: though they are slow to <\/span>open up<\/span>, we can see God at work in their lives, and we believe that they are on their way to becoming fishers of men.<\/span><\/p>\n

Truth is understood to be relative<\/em> rather than absolute<\/em>, and many people <\/span>participate<\/span> in childhood Shinto blessing rituals, then have a Christian-style wedding and a Buddhist funeral. Those looking for clearer answers in life have often been deceived by cults, and now there is a widespread feeling that \u2018religion is <\/span>dangerous\u2019<\/span>. There are no legal restrictions on sharing the gospel in Japan, but in this confused spiritual atmosphere, much prayer is needed for breakthrough: the church is small, and many rural towns and villages have no contact with faith-filled Christians.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What is our vision <\/strong>for East Asia?<\/h2>\n

Our vision is to engage the Japanese and worldwide church in prayer and action, and work together to see God\u2019s kingdom <\/span>established<\/span> in the least-reached rural areas of Japan.<\/span><\/p>\n

In addition to <\/span>seeking<\/span> to strengthen existing ministries, w<\/span>e are actively praying about expansion into new areas and countries.\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
