As a former missionary to Japan and as Professor of Mission
and Evangelism at Lutheran Brethren Seminary in Fergus Falls, MN, I
very much enjoyed this informative interview with Dr. Masaki. Thank
you for posting this. As Dr. Masaki pointed out, the Christian
presence in Japan is very small. Japanese educators and pastors are
very appreciative of opportunities for partnership with churches in
other parts of the world, and for the resources that association
with other church bodies provides. Japanese Christians pay a very
high price to follow Christ in Japan, but they do so willingly and
count it a privilege to be counted for Christ. Let us be in prayer
that in Japan too, the Lord of the Harvest will raise up workers to
join Him in His mission there, and that we will see His Church grow
strong in witness to others.
