IMMIGRATION:
Our next missionary has just had their visa approved!
Thank you all for praying with us for Nathan Johnson from Ohio, U.S.A. He is scheduled to arrive in Japan the last week of February.
There are many ongoing ministries where we need an extra set of hands, and a couple of new churches that have also asked for ministry support.
May the Lord go before Nathan and prepare the ministry waiting ahead as he walks with Him in each step.
Praise God for new missionaries
Praise God!
Thanks be to God.
Go with God
Coming-of-Age Day (成人の日）is 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.

NEW MISSIONARY
Last week the immigration authorities accepted our VISA application for the latest missionary scheduled to come out to join us by March 2025!
Please pray with us for Nathan Johnson from Ohio, U.S.A. as he prepares to make this transition to Japan. May the Lord go before him and prepare the ministry waiting ahead as he walks with Him in each step.
What great news, praise God! Welcome Nathan!
I prayed for God's guidance for Nathan Johnson as well as for all the current Japan Mission team members sharing the true Christmas Message! 🌸🌹🦉
Welcome Nathan! You are in good hands with Japan Mission. Where in Ohio? We came from the Cincinnati/NKY region.
Tell me more about your mission work in Japan.
Awesome!!
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.
PRAY WITH US!
FREE BIBLES:
JM provides a free Bible for anyone who requests one within Japan. It’s often the case that someone requests one on another’s 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.
ENGLISH OUTREACH
Through opening and maintaining English outreach programs in about 15 different churches, over 200 Japanese are connected to their local church every week. The Bible is taught after each class, and relationships are deepened on a weekly basis.
