Welcome to our events page!

Our main event most years is the Japan Weekend Conference. In 2025 this took place between Friday 25th July and Sunday 27th July 2025. We will advise the date of this conference in 2026 as soon as we have final plans agreed.

We also offer monthly Prayer Meetings and periodic meetings with our Mission Partners when they are visiting the UK, as well as online Meet & Pray events. Please sign up for our newsletters if you would like to be advised of forthcoming events.
