The training of
NEW JAPANESE LEADERS
in Japan is critical for this generation
The Need in Japan
There is a dire need to train new leaders to guide existing churches and plant new ones across Japan. With Japan’s rapidly shifting population landscape and growing urbanization, the need is immense, and the opportunity to equip this generation to lead the church in reaching Japan is extraordinary.
The Need for Pastors
15% of churches in Japan don't have a pastor. As Japan's churches age and churches close every year, it is estimated that over the next few years 50% of churches will close or be without a pastor.
Less than 10% of pastors in Japan are under 50 years old. The average age of pastors in Japan is over 70 years old.
