Japan 1 Short-Term Trip

Overview

Japan is home to more than 124 million people, yet very few have ever heard a clear explanation of who Jesus is. Many are spiritually curious but have never been invited into a conversation about faith. This trip gives our team the chance to partner with a local church in a rural village, coming alongside their ongoing efforts to meet people, build relationships, and share the hope of Jesus with those who are open. During the trip, you’ll spend time in everyday environments—cafés, parks, local events—getting to know people and supporting the work that the local church has already been doing for years. In a culture where loneliness is widespread, simple presence and genuine friendship can open meaningful doors. This is a chance to serve faithfully, learn humbly, and join God’s work in Japan.
