Engage Japan

Of the 125 million people that live on the islands of Japan, fewer than 750,000 are followers of Jesus. Although this is one of the most technologically and economically advanced nations, the Japanese are also highly traditional and honor-bound to their ancient culture. In the land of the rising sun, the Encompass team is working to see the Japanese people discipled and churches planted in one of the country’s largest cities. Serving in partnership with the Encompass team, you will have the opportunity to be the hands, feet, and voice of Jesus to the least reached.
