What is Church like in Japan?  - part 3
Finding a good church in Japan is sometimes a hard task.  Many churches have few young people or are too traditional and stale to attract any young people.

For those of you in Aichi-ken, I really want to encourage you to check out All Nations Fellowship.  Michael Oh, one of the leaders there, has a wonderful vision.  Not only is he concerned with Japan, but he is concerned with giving Japanese young people a heart for spreading the good news of Christ in all the nations.

Michael Oh on Missions

Due to speak at the pastor's conference at John Piper's church next year, here is Michael Oh, a missionary in Japan.

"I’ve always thought of missions as a fasting of many of the blessings of life. When we normally fast – we abstain from food – something so seemingly essential to life – to remind us of what is even more essential – our relationship with Christ. We fast because there is urgency of some other matter – more urgent than eating. In missions, we fast the blessings of family, friends, and all the blessings and opportunities of life in the US – because there is something even more essential to life – our relationship to Christ whom we follow and seek to make known. And we fast these blessings – because there is something more urgent than even our family and friends – the Gospel going to the perishing among the 2.5 billion who have little or no chance to hear the Gospel."

"Love Your Enemies"
