create small worshiping groups that will
then duplicate themselves into other
groups as people go out to start their
own groups. This will result in the rapid
multiplication of believers and groups.
In the summer of 2016, two Tokyo
Biblical Seminary summer mission stu-
dents were trained to go to Kochi Grace
Church on Shikoku to introduce the min-
istry and help to get it started. Saeki-
Sensei caught the vision for what this
could do and asked OMS missionary
Bob Warren and national partner Hideki
Kina to come to do more training. The
pastor has been seeing his lay people win
people for Christ and start small groups.
Other churches in Shikoku are catching
the vision to implement this ministry. We
have churches in other areas asking to
have training done in their churches. We
see a new enthusiasm for evangelism.
Plans are being made for this winter to
train the leadership of the national church
and seminary.
When a Men for Missions work and
evangelism team came in April 2018,
they introduced the EvangeCube, a tool
for personal evangelism, to the Japan
leadership. This tool was used at a park,
and two people accepted Christ. God is
creating a desire for training in personal
lay evangelism. Pray for all these sons
and daughters of Japan to go into the
harvest field of their homes, neighbor-
hoods, and work places. Indeed, a new
wind is blowing over Japan.
