This Summer in Japan.....

ETHNOS has been involved in ministries to the Japanese youth since July 2008, when I went to Tokyo to search for ways to reach out to Japanese youth. 

My findings in 2008: God is passionately moving to fill the emptiness in Japanese youth. There on the streets of Tokyo, my team interviewed the young people. We heard confessions of emptiness, purposelessness and rejection from school dropouts, young 'service agents' (pimps, we would call in our district), musicians and students. God is opening the hearts of Japanese youth. Who knows how long this time of open hearts will last? Thus, my sensing for ETHNOS is to minister in Japan as much as we can - NOW is the time. 

I thank God for my past teams who have gone with me - Brandon Myles Krause, Suwit 'Tee', Joshua Riordan, Justin Ho, Jachin Pousson, Brian Cheung, Benjamin Wu, Ruth Lee, Charlton Ying, Jasmine Sia - THANK YOU for being part of the vision and work on behalf of Japan, and your sacrifices to make a difference to the young people of Japan through media, music, photography, video, translation, teaching, worship, prayer, testimonies, sports, games, stories. The possibilities for you guys to contribute to world missions are limitless, keep multiplying your talents to disciple the nations.

 

This 20th July- 8th August, another team of us will be going to Japan to run 3 camps: 1 youth worship training camp, 1 evangelistic youth camp, and 1 evangelistic children's camp.  Much of what we will do will focus on imparting truth and kingdom values to youth who need ministry into areas of unworthiness, perfectionism, depression. For the children, we will be focusing on calling out their giftings and abilities. 

The team consists of Jasmine Sia, Robin Xu, Khoo Yingnuo, Xiao Qiying, Chia Swee Kit and Joshua Riordan.

After 8th August, I will stay on to follow-up and spend time with the youth.

We're currently trying our best to raise funds, a total of $7,650 to cover airfares, ground fees and ministry costs for the team. If you'd like to bless us, do get in touch with me at regina@ywam.org.sg. The team needs your prayers and support, thank you!

love,
