Will you send us?

We are missionary appointees with SEND International, currently raising support to be missionaries in Japan. We plan to be in Japan long term, as long as God has us there, and so we are looking for people to support us financially and in prayer, and send us to Japan. We anticipate leaving for Japan in July of 2011, however we must have 100% of our support raised by then.

Japan needs the gospel.

Less than 1% of Japanese are Christians. The Joshua Project lists the Japanese as the second largest unreached people group in the world. There are over 1,700 cities towns and villages in Japan that do not have a single Christian church. Our heart is to go to Japan and work with the Japanese church to help spread the gospel throughout Japan. More specifically we desire to plant new, reproducing churches, discipling and training Japanese believers so that they can reach their own. 

Now is the time.

Now the church in Japan needs the help of missionaries to reach the rest of Japan, and now the doors are wide open for missionaries to go. Our hope and prayer is to see the Church in Japan strong and growing, to the point that missionaries are no longer needed to support it. But until then we are ready to go. We are looking for Christians who have a heart to see the people of Japan reached with the hope and love of Christ, who will send us to carry out this much needed work which Christ has commanded us to do.

Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age." 

Matthew 28:19-20
