PDF Print E-mail

Japanese FamilyWelcome to Mission: JAPAN, a community that is passionate about seeing Japanese people around the globe come to know Jesus Christ.  The gospel has spread around the world in a variety of ways to many places, but the Japanese have remained resistant to its message.  We are intent on seeing God's glory shine in the midst of this people and are committed to working together to see His name proclaimed among these people!

Here, you will find people who are interested in praying for Japanese people to hear the Good News; you will find people who are working to learn the Japanese language; you will find people who are using the internet to reach Japanese people; you will find people who are actively ministering among the Japanese in Japan and elsewhere.  We hope that you will find this community to be a catalyst in your life as well as a catalyst in the lives of our Japanese friends!

Create an account (see the "Login Form" just to the left).  Spend a litle time interacting in the Forum.  Have a look at the recent Prayer Requests.  Try your hand at learning some Japanese language.  Get to know others who share the vision to see Japan - and Japanese people everywhere - hear about the Good News that Jesus Christ is the answer for their life too!

If you are a regular visitor or member of Mission: JAPAN, you will have noticed that we are undertaking a complete re-design of the community.  This has been a long time coming!  There are so many tools out there for a community website that we spent many hours researching before we found the right tool to replace our prior software.  The previous program was hacked several times, was difficult to manage and had begun to become corrupted so much that we were unable to control and develop the site as desired. 

 The decision was made quite a while ago to do a redesign, but we are only now able to roll out the "new and improved" Mission: JAPAN website.  We value your feedback!  Please let us know if there are features you would like to see included in this site, and if there are features that are troublesome or difficult to operate.  We want you to find this a useful and meaningful site, so we are all ears!

Monthly Prayer Calendars for Japan E-mail
Written by gfletcher   

There are many people who frequent this site because of their interest in seeing the Japanese reached with the gospel.  Some would like to learn language to whatever degree possible. Some just want to network with others of similar interest.  Many would also like to have prayer requests that they can lift up in prayer.

 

If you are one of those who is interested in praying for the needs of Japan, you will find a valuable resource in the forums.  We have added monthly prayer diaries to the Prayer Initiatives section of the Forums.  They are updated each month with new info from the field, so you will have specific, fresh prayer requests to lift up to the Lord of the Harvest.

 

We hope you will find these a meaningful tool for your ministry of intercession.  If you have any requests or suggestions, please feel free to contact us!
 
Learn Japanese with iKnow

altFor anyone learning to learn some basic Japanese vocabulary, sounds, characters...etc...there is a free tool that will help you get started!  I recommend you cruise on over to www.smart.fm and look for a list that matches your needs.  After you have chosen a list, click on the "iKnow" icon to open the program.  It is not a substitute for a tutor or language school, but for those who just want to get a start, it is a pretty neat little program...and FREE!  :-)  Have a look and let me know what you think.

 

Oh, and  a side benefit that I see...my 13 year old daughter is enjoying using iKnow to learn Japanese, so you might consider letting your kids try it!
