[JAPAN]
This small group is for the Japan Winter Missions 2019 to Fukuoka, Japan.
DATES: 1/17 (Thu) -1/21 (Mon), 2019
One task Jesus lastly commissioned us to do is to: “Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit…” – Matthew 28:19
But, why Japan? Today, Japan is referred as “the missionary’s graveyard”, with less than 1 percent of the country Japan being evangelical Christian. Japan is, in fact, the second largest, most unreached people group in the world. People simply overlook Japan as a mission field, because it is one of the most developed, first world country, and try to focus on places that are more needy. However, people don’t realize how spiritually needy Japan is. Even for one person to be reached out to and become a true disciple of Christ, it first takes many months or even years of building relationship with the local missionaries. So “the missionary’s graveyard” may not necessarily mean physical deaths of the missionary, but often in termination of missionary career.
1. We Want to Make Disciples in Fukuoka, Japan, So We Can…
(1) encourage and equip the local church members to spread the Gospel, especially in the city of Fukuoka
(2) evoke the affirmation of members’ faith and promote the second leap of faith to further His kingdom
(3) experience and witness God’s work in Japan and return to share with and help equip others at NHM
(4) continue the long-term relationship and accountability we have established with Fukuoka Agape Christ Church
2. This Is How We Will Reach Out to the Locals in Fukuoka, Japan:
(1) College Ministry – the local missionaries often spend months and/or years reaching out even to one student, so we will help out with Thursday Campus Ministry Night, inviting and building relationships.
(2) Youth Group – teach and train the youths at Fukuoka Agape Christ Church to be true disciples of Christ.
(3) Street Evangelism – go into the streets and invite local Japanese people who otherwise would never have a chance to come to church by witnessing to them through invitational evangelism, so that they may encounter Christ alongside with our team and the church in Fukuoka.
(4) Sunday Worship Services – we serve three worship services at Fukuoka Agape Christ Church sharing our testimonies and other soft resources for bible studies and worship leading.
(5) Member Care – we intently will try to build relationship with the church leaders and members, so we can mutually encourage and be encouraged to grow in Christ.
3. This Fall, Japan Winter Missions 2019 Small Group:
This fall as a missions team to Japan, we will study both the book of Ephesians and Philippians. Being on missions doesn’t begin when your plane touches down. It begins in our day to day walk with the Lord. Which is much easier said than done. Together as a Japan Missions Team, we will examine how faith and works are practiced in our daily lives. Our hope and goal is to delve deeply into the Word; learn to be loved by God and to love others; encourage one another so we can help grow and challenge one another into a deeper faith relationship with Jesus.
We Will Focus on:
(1) Studying God’s Word – the book of Ephesians and Philippians, to carry His Good News and make disciples
(2) Experiencing God at work in us and through us, as we learn to be loved by God and love others
(3) Developing relationship with one another to grow and apply the Gospel in life and on mission
(4) Praying and building accountability for one another to witness the power of our Lord Jesus
