Japan remains one of the world’s least-reached nations. Fewer than 0.5% of Japanese are thought to be Christians. Japan Christian Link wants to help change that. Our goal is to help make a significant difference in the progress of the gospel among the Japanese people over the first half of this century. We seek to do this through educating, encouraging and equipping Christians so that, more and more, the good news of Jesus Christ will be proclaimed clearly, and disciples of Jesus Christ multiplied, among the Japanese people, for his glory (Matthew 28:19-20). Find out about our origins, our vision, who we are and what we do ..... and come and meet a few of our people. more...

Japan Weekend Conference

Our next Japan conference in the UK is planned for spring 2014, dates and venue to be finalised. We will include a 'returnees' theme and hope to have as visiting speaker Setsu Shimizu of JCFN, the specialist returnee ministry network we wrote about in our Autumn-Winter 2012 magazine. This time we will also be encouraging Japanese students in the UK to come along and be helped and equipped for their eventual return home. Do plan to come and please be thinking of Japanese students whom you could encourage to come. Watch this space for further details or e-mail us if you'd like to make sure you receive them.

CRASH Japan (Christian Relief, Assistance, Support and Hope) - We very much enjoyed hosting CRASH's president Jonathan Wilson's recent visit to Britain.  As well as participating in our Japan conference (above) Jonathan also spoke at a special meeting for former CRASH volunteers, supporters and others interested in the post-tsunami Christian relief effort in Japan and at the London VIP Club, where many Japanese came to hear about work being done to help survivors come to terms with their circumstances.
CRASH are now launching an international campaign - a Million Cranes for Japan - inviting volunteers to participate with others around the world in making origami cranes, giving the cranes to family and friends for a small donation, and giving the money to CRASH to support the vision.  Check out CRASH Japan's website.
