    • of the remarkable openness of Japanese people when abroad and the opportunities for overseas Christians to introduce them to Christ
    • of the importance of linking returning Japanese believers and enquirers with Christians in Japan who will be able to help them move forward spiritually

    • to pray for the Japanese and those seeking to reach them
    • to get involved themselves in outreach and ministry to Japanese
    • to develop biblically coherent perspectives on matters of importance for the advance of the gospel (e.g. Christian community, evangelism, discipleship, leadership, …)
    • to think creatively and explore new forms of outreach and Christian community
    • to provide financial and other resources to support mission among Japanese
    • to maintain connections with and continue to encourage Japanese new believers who have returned home (or moved elsewhere)

  • To be a resource (equip)
    • by being a centre of expertise and advice for those engaged in ministry to Japanese
    • by linking together people engaged in similar work
    • by providing helpful Japanese Christian literature and advice relating to such tools
    • by arranging conferences for those interested in mission among Japanese
    • by mentoring and supporting our Mission Partners, Network Partners, Volunteers and other key people in their ministries
    • by helping to prepare and to connect new Japanese believers and seekers who are returning home, linking them with Christians and churches in Japan where they can grow and flourish as disciples of Jesus Christ and influence their nation for his glory
    • by developing, where possible in partnership with others, constructive biblical and practical analyses of matters relating to the advancement of God’s kingdom among the Japanese.
