North Americans are uniquely qualified to reach the Japanese. Why? First, our own society is growing more Postmodern, losing any absolutes we once held dear. Mr. Takeshi Takazawa, a young national leader in Japan has said, "In many ways, Japan's mindset compares well to typical Postmodernism, and it has been that way long before we came up with the 'Postmodern' label." Second, Japan is similar to the West in that it is an affluent nation where money can't buy peace. Symptoms of this spiritual vacuum are obvious -- social turmoil in every city, suicide at all-time highs, scandals are commonplace, traditional religions on the decline.

As a result, there's a hunger for Christ's love that you can bring! Ministry opportunities abound.

So how can you impact Japan, a nation with tremendous sociological and spiritual needs? There are many avenues for getting involved. You can go, send, give or pray. You can be involved as an individual or you can be a part of a group ministering to Japan. God may use you to help draw this strategic Asian nation to Himself. Begin clicking at your own risk.
