2024 Mission Trip
Twenty-six people from all over America gathered for this trip, split into three teams across Tokyo, Chiba, and Sendai. Rob Brinks, the president of Reformed Mission Services, was taken to fourteen different churches across Tokyo, Chiba, Sendai, and Nagoya to learn about the needs of the church in Japan.
What happened on the ground.
Construction in Chiba
The team repaired a leak in the roof of one of the churches.
Kid's Club with Setagaya Grace Church
The Setagaya team helped host a Kid's Club, with an English lesson, a Bible lesson, and games.
Outreach in Sendai
The team helped the church with outreach — teaching cooking classes, running an English café, and hosting a kids' game day.
Fellowship with deacons
Udo-san and Junichi had never had fellowship outside of church, despite being deacons at the Shibuya church for over fifteen years, so we travelled to the outskirts of Tokyo to have fellowship with them.
Encouraging Masa to tell the gospel
We had twenty-plus people at an inter-fellowship dinner, so some Japanese locals asked Masa who we were and why there were so many of us. He told them that we are Christians, and they asked him to tell them about Christianity.
“That was easy, I want to share the gospel more!”
The photographs are still being gathered.
Photos from 2024 Mission Trip are being prepared for sharing. A curated selection and the full archive will be posted here for team members, sending churches, and partners.
