RETOOL KIT PATHWAY IN JAPAN

The Retool Kit Pathway, developed my Pinnacle Ministries and Converge Worldwide Mobilization, is a road to more church health and vitality for all churches, especially churches that have declined or plateaued.Ray Swatkowski and Gary Harrison have traveled to Japan to present the Retool Kit Pathway at the Rengo Pastor’s Conference in Hamamatsu, Feb 28-Mar 2. They also preached at four churches in two regions. For the past couple of years leaders of the Rengo have spearheaded the process of translating and contextualizing the Retool Kit Pathway for use in Japanese churches. Lead by Pastor Makoto Fukui, a team of translators have been faithfully working through the materials and have finalized the translation of all the PowerPoints and both Leadership Team Workbooks 1 and 2. Together with other Rengo leaders, pastors of Japanese language churches here in the United States, and Ken Milhous, it has been a team effort involving 2 major summits over the last 2 years here in the US to lay the ground work for this trip. God has worked at the Pastors’ Conference, which John believes was one of the best. Several pastors plan to implement some of the training and several are considering being the first pilot churches in Japan. Please pray for the continuation of this important project.
