Gospel Trip to Japan: Sharing Christ in Okinawa, Osaka, and Kyoto

We are thrilled to announce an upcoming gospel outreach trip to Okinawa, Osaka, and Kyoto! A unique opportunity to proclaim the good news of Jesus Christ in a nation where only a small percentage of the population identifies as Christian. Please pray with us as we prepare for this exciting mission in Japan.

Our journey will begin in Okinawa, where we will be sharing the gospel through a Karate tournament. Martial arts have deep cultural roots in Okinawa, making this a meaningful setting to connect with people and build relationships. Through conversations, testimonies, and personal interactions, we will be sharing the hope, forgiveness, and new life found in Jesus Christ. Traveling with us will be two dedicated Karate senseis who love both the art of Karate and the Lord. One of them, Sensei Steve, leads The Master’s Martial Arts Academy, a dojo committed to the motto “Karate for Christ.” At his school, students are reminded that the true Master is Jesus, and we are excited to see how that testimony will resonate with those we meet in Okinawa.

Following the tournament, we will travel to Osaka to focus on direct gospel outreach among the Japanese people. Through preaching, personal conversations, and fellowship, our desire is to clearly communicate the message of repentance and faith in Christ. Japan is often considered a mission field with great spiritual need, and we are humbled to be part of what God is doing there. Japan is a nation rich in history, tradition, and community, yet the gospel remains unfamiliar to many. This trip is not just about events or travel—it’s about people hearing the life-changing message of Jesus. We pray that seeds will be planted, hearts opened, and that God will raise up faithful witnesses throughout the country.

How You Can Pray

• Pray for safe travels and good health for the team
• Pray for open doors and meaningful Christ-centered conversations
• Pray for boldness, clarity, and love as we share the gospel
• Pray for the people of Okinawa and Osaka to respond to Christ

We are filled with anticipation for what the Lord will do. Thank you for standing with us in prayer as we step out in faith to share Jesus in Japan.
