Empowering Japan has a network of local Japan-based ministries that they collaborate with having training conferences, evangelism events, prayer events, and more. They also provide avenues for short-term missionaries to have ministry opportunities in Japan. You can visit their website by clicking on their logo. You can also visit their Facebook page HERE.
The main mission for Empowering Japan is five-fold:
- Connecting local churches, people, and ministries together in relationship and outreach.
- Evangelize and win the lost for the Kingdom of Jesus Christ in Japan.
- Equip, disciple, and train the Body of Christ in Kingdom identity living and expression as a child of God, supernatural gifts and the power of Holy Spirit, and evangelism.
- Mobilizing the church in presentation of the simple Gospel through public outreaches.
- Plug people into ministries to serve their local community.
This ministry is already making disciples in Japan where statistics say that only 1.5% of their population is Christian. They work with Yomitan International Church (photos above). There is great need there to build up ministries like Empowering Japan and provide physical help to give them more tools to make disciples of our Lord Jesus Christ! Here is another video made by Anders Godø who is friends of YIC.
We are sending our first missions team to Okinawa, Japan from February 28 – March 10. CLICK on the new LightShine Okinawa logo (below) to read more about this team assignment.
