The difference we make

JCL is striving to make a significant difference in the advance of the gospel amongst Japanese people.  There are many ways we seek to do this, including working to plant new churches, seeking to encourage personal evangelism to individuals, using Gospel Music to touch the hearts of many and befriending students who are doing courses of study abroad.  Here are a few examples, to whet your appetite.
