FREE BIBLES:
JM provides a free Bible for anyone who requests one within Japan. Itโs often the case that someone requests one on anotherโs behalf.
Pray with us as these Bibles go out into the lives of people throughout Japan.
Isaiah 55:7
so is my word that goes out from my mouth: It will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it.

CHRISTMAS
Christmas is widely celebrated in Japan but it is true that most Japanese have no concept that the birth of Jesus is what Christmas is all about.
This gives us missionaries a perfect opportunity to share the ultimate gift we have found in Christ. It's so natural to share because the connection can be found anywhere you go.
During this season JM is working overtime to help the church share the great love God has for us.

LITERATURE:
A team of writers, and support staff work hard every month to prepare over 20,000 copies of the Fountain of Joy leaflet (ใใใใณใฎๆณ) to be distributed into the communities of about 350 different churches throughout Japan.
People are moved as they read stories about other Japanese who are transformed by the life-changing power of the Gospel.
The leaflets are designed so that churches can stamp them with their local contact information. When they are distributed throughout their communities readers know where to go to connect with a community of believers. This makes it possible to connect thousands of people to local churches.
Pray with us as the team works to provide this for churches every month!

THE MEDIA GAP:
There is a media gap between the Japanese church and society, where great work is being done in the church but it is not shared effectively online.
CHURCH- 70% of pastors approaching retirement age, average church at only 30 members, lacking the funding or talent needed to effectively use media in engaging the next generation for Christ.
SOCIETY- +94% of Japanese are connected to the internet, +90% of users actively browsing through mobile devices.
HELP US CLOSE THE GAP
There are churches that would like to create a promotional video for their church but don't have the funds to get the project rolling.
If you feel led to partner with us in this mission to close the media gap with the Japanese church, please contact us!

HOMESTAY
CAYA Homestays have begun here in our home in Ikoma, Nara. In our own wisdom, we could have never planned for this act of service to the Lord to be as rewarding as it has proven to be thus far - we are both thrilled and excited!
By the grace of God, under our roof weโve been able to share our lives, our hearts, and the love of God with folks from every walk of Japanese society: elementary, middle and high school students, young recent college graduates, a mom in our own age group and a longtime friend of Japan Mission who is called โOjiiโ (grandpa) by his grandchildren. Slow-paced time spent preparing & breaking bread together, playing games and trading cultural experiences has facilitated deep personal connections.
We give thanks to the Lord for using this new ministry to build deeper relationships with the precious souls He has connected us with, each uniquely created in the image of God.

MR. BIG HOUSE
While planning a visual for the next church video the inspiration cameโฆ โwhat if while church members shared about their community, pieces of stain-glass were placed together to form the church building!?โ
Knowing nothing about stain-glass, we began to order pieces on amazon and build. Cutting and sanding bits of glass, we soon realized we were in over our head! :)
It just so happens that a local stain-glass craftsman who goes by the name โMr. Big Houseโ runs a workshop across the way, so we decided to pop in for advice. This veteran of the trade looked at our tools and laughed out loud! He generously talked us through a game-plan, showed us his machinery and offered to help us with this project at a discount.
Despite living very close, we never had a real relationship with Mr. Big House, but through this random idea the Lord has brought us into his world. Now we are consciously aware that the Lord may have bigger plans than a church video and are treading carefully on this โholy groundโโฆ
Please pray with us for this video project, but also that the Lord would bless and work in the heart of Mr. Big House as we move forward with this project.

CAYA HOMESTAY
We appreciate your continued prayers as the Thomas couple are in the beginning stages of the homestay ministry. The local community has embraced it with enthusiasm, and the news continues to ripple out into companies and schools beyond our friends here in Ikoma.
Through word of mouth and past relationships the Lord has already stirred in the hearts of leaders at two global Japanese companies and they will be sharing the program for employees and families interested in โEnglish immersionโ. Last month a local cram school also visited and asked if they could share the CAYA homestay information to their students studying English.
This month we will also be sharing about this new program with the many churches we partner with for English outreach in the Kansai region. (about 15 churches)
Please pray with us as things are just getting started and we can sense that the Lord is doing a great new thing! May the Lord use this program to bless all who come.

Last week we went on a filming shoot for a another church video. Special thanks to the sponsorship of asialink.org who made this video possible!

There are many in Japan who are hesitant to come to church for fear that they might be shamed by those around them or that they may not be welcomed if they are not a christian.

HOMESTAY MINISTRY
"English immersion" programs are very popular with the Japanese, and many spend a small fortune to travel overseas to just live with an English-speaking family for a time. Through the Thomas couple, the Lord has opened a door to serve the community in this way through a local โmini-homestayโ program right here in Ikoma, Japan!
A couple months ago, Ed and Toby Thomas began opening their house to friends in the community to give them a taste of Texas without having to leave Japan.
Through doing life together over several days, the Thomas couple has the opportunity to invite their guests into their daily walk with the Lord. This happens in simple ways through visits to church together on a Sunday or prayer before meals, but also in more intimate ways as they share their lives with each other in deeper conversation.
Pray with us for Ed and Toby as they have finished their fourth homestay in just two months and begin plans for the next one! Please also pray that the Lord would soften the hearts of future โhomestayersโ and that He would use the time together to truly transform lives here in Ikoma.

GOLDEN WEEK
Last week was one of the most festive times of the year in Japan known as Golden Week. The period includes four national holidays and stretched from 29 April to May 6th.
It was one of the busiest times of year for travel as millions of people made the most of the extended time off and beautiful spring weather. Traffic all over the country was INCREDIBLE! After a week of hard play itโs back to work for Japan.

FLIP-SIDE
Experiencing Japan as a visitor can be remarkable because you are on the receiving end of some of the best service in the world. You often find the people are courteous, food tastes great and hospitality is fantastic!
The flip-side to this however, is a work environment and society with some of the highest expectations in the world. Although most Japanese learn to adapt to this way of life after entering the workforce, there are many who canโt handle the pressures of society and shut themselves off from the world.
JM staff have relationships with many Japanese who struggle this way, and they are often drawn to Churches as they find that they are accepted just as they are. Pray with us for deliverance from the lies that keep many in bondage, and wisdom for pastors and missionaries who deal with the complex issues that lie at the root of these problems.

LONGING FOR EASTER
One mother told us they were not planning to join our Easter event but her child insisted so hard that she changed her mind. Only 5 kids were expected at that event but after inviting their friends, 11 kids showed up!
Deep down, every child longs to experience and hear about the love God has for them.
The Japan Mission team puts on many events throughout Kansai with small groups of students and friends during Easter. They put a lot of work into making it something people genuinely want to come to so they can hear Jesusโs message of love for them.
โJesus said, โLet the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.โโ

RETURNEES
Japanese often find faith in Christ and thrive while living overseas. But many challenges await them as they return to Japan and face societal opposition, and struggle to find a good Christian community.
Sometimes we receive requests from overseas to help bridge the gap, and connect these Japanese returnees with a spiritual home back in Japan.
Pray with us for these Japanese returnees who have tasted and seen that the Lord is good! That they might find solid community in Japan and continue to grow and shine their light where they are planted.

6years ago, 7 kindergartners graduated CAYA Kinder and wrote letters to their future selves and their parents as they took their next steps into elementary school.
Last week we gathered all these kids who are now going into junior high to dig up the time capsule, reconnect, and share about their next steps as they begin junior high.
It was truly a moving time reconnecting with the kids and their familiesโฆ

RECORD STUDENT SUICIDES 2024
(Article below)
In Japan, there are too many children who are isolated, unaware of their purpose, believing lies about personal value, and left with no one to speak into their lives. As Christians, this is our turf, and we take it very seriously.
We spend a lot of time building genuine relationships with those in the early years of parenting and childhood. We want to make sure that they have a place to reach out to during desperate times. We are working to connect deeply with these young parents and children in our community and share the grace and love of God that transforms us.
Pray for Japan and pray with us as we seek to go deeper and wider in these ministries!

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!
In Japan, being able to "read the air" (kuuki wo yomu) is not just important; it is a fundamental concept in Japanese culture, inextricably linked to social behavior and etiquette.
In Japan, Valentine's Day is a day where women are expected to give chocolate to the men in their lives. This means anyone from their husbands and uncles to co-workers and bosses. As any person's relationships with others are not always equal, Japan has three "levels" of chocolates that are given out based on the giver's closeness to the receiver:
"giri-choco" (obligatory chocolates)
"honmei-choco" (heartfelt chocolates)
"tomo-choco" (friend chocolates)
Here, even Valentine's Day can become a stressful event for women, who must navigate the social waters of their relationships to figure out what kind of chocolate she must give out.
You can learn more about Valentine's Day in this helpful article:

ECHO FROM THE PAST
So much has changed at Japan Mission over the years, but in ministry planning, Neil Verweyโs words echo loudly even today as we move wherever the Lord leads us. May we be attentive enough to be truly guided by the spirit of the lord!
John 21:5-6
5 Jesus said to them, โChildren, do you have any fish?โ They answered him, โNo.โ 6 He said to them, โCast the net on the right side of the boat, and you will find some.โ So they cast it, and now they were not able to haul it in, because of the quantity of fish.

Coming-of-Age Day (ๆไบบใฎๆฅ๏ผis celebrated each year on the second Monday of January. Those turning 20 before March 31st this year, will officially become adults in Japanese society. This day is celebrated to reflect both the expanded rights, but also increased responsibilities expected of new adults.
Please help us pray for these young people that they may discover hope and purpose found in a vibrant and dynamic relationship with God. Also, pray for our local churches that they may communicate the Good News in a language that this generation will understand.

VISION
Japan Mission does not plant churches directly, but partners with existing churches and church-plants across Japan. We support churches that are evangelistic and grounded in the Bible by providing literature, resources, and evangelistic programs which help churches reach their communities for Christ.
May the Lord equip us to faithfully support again in 2025!

SHORT TERM OUTREACH
We began to lose count of the number of groups that visited JM from January 2024, so we put together a map. This week we count 29 pins and have 4 guests coming for Christmas!
So thankful for all who visited this year, and pray that the Lord would continue to bless and walk closely with you in 2025.
-----------------------------------
If you are looking to visit short term we welcome you!
Helping churches reach their communities for Christ is a core purpose of Japan Mission. Volunteers with professional skills can help us make a great difference and bring spiritual blessing and encouragement to all involved.

CHRISTMAS
Christmas is just around the corner!
In Japan, Christmas is widely celebrated but most Japanese have no concept that the birth of Jesus is what Christmas is all about.
This gives us missionaries a perfect opportunity to share the ultimate gift we have found in Christ. It's so natural to share because the connection can be found anywhere you go.
During this season JM is working overtime to help local churches share the great love God has for us.

FREE BIBLES:
JM provides a free Bible for anyone who requests one within Japan. Itโs often the case that someone requests one on anotherโs behalf. Pray with us as these Bibles go out into the lives of people throughout Japan.
Isaiah 55:7
so is my word that goes out from my mouth: It will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it.
