>Dear Partners in missions,

Thank you for your constant partnership and ministry in our lives. We appreciate your passion in giving and spreading the Gospel to many people in Japan and around the world. As we move on, we appreciate your prayers and partnership in bringing more people into the Kingdom of God.

Last year, we have the privilege to work with some Japanese churches in reaching the communities. In summer, we have 2 teams worked with churches in Tokyo and Sendai. We have the privilege to fellowship with them and train them to share the gospel. Many got to hear the gospel and some even invited Jesus into their live. And, during Christmas, we have the privilege to work with at least 5 churches. Together with one of the churches, we conducted some evangelistic meetings. In one of the meetings, more than 50 non-Christians came and through the message, skit and testimonies, more than 5 invited Jesus into their lives! Praise the Lord.

In 2009, more than 2,500 hear the gospel through personal witnessing and evangelistic meetings and about 250 invited Jesus into their lives. Through the Internet evangelism, more than 66,000 accesses the evangelistic website and about 1,000 clicked, ‘YES, I want to become a Christian’! Together with you, more than 230,000 copies of Jesus film materials and Christmas CDs were distributed to Japanese.

In the coming years, together with you, we want to trust God to see more Japanese come to know Jesus as their Lord and growing to be Christ-centred Disciples. We want to trust God to see 7% of the Japan population to become Christ-centred Disciples.We know that we cannot do it alone. We continuously need your partnership and prayers. We will also avail ourselves, more, to work alongside with churches and organizations in equipping more Japanese Christians to share the Gospel through trainings or just a short session as how to share your personal testimony with families, friends and Japanese.

When he saw the crowds, he had compassion on them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd. Then he said to his disciples, "The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field." (Matthew 9:36-38).

Together, let’s take steps of faith to pray and be send out to be His disciples to reach the lost.
