From Japan to the World

Yes, John went to Budapest Hungary. Last month John was part of a group of 60 key leaders from 15 regional church planting networks throughout the world. At the Global Church Planting Network Global Consultation Takeshi Takazawa, director of the Japan Church Growth Institute, and John were glad to join two leaders from Taiwan, two from Mongolia, and one from South Korea. Thank you for your prayers as together we formed the North East Asia Church Planting Network and set some concrete goals for the next 3 months leading to national initiatives for church planting. Mongolia had no Christians 20 years ago and now they have set the goal to have 10% of their country Christian by the year 2020! There is a lot we can learn from each other and many practical lessons from many countries where God is multiplying his church. Much of this can be an inspiration and also practical help to Japan. Continue to pray for this North East Asia Network and for the development of national initiatives in Japan.
