Japan Christian Link has been blessed with a good number of outstanding partners. JCL has two types of partners, Mission Partners and Network Partners.
Mission Partners are full time Christian workers who take on roles such as church leadership and church planting.
Network Partners are generally in secular paid employment but because of their engagement with Japanese people either in Japan or abroad they have opportunities to share the gospel in their spare time with those around them.
Please contact us if you would like to know more about our partners. There are opportunities to pray for their work as well as to support them financially.
