This year FIM has two Candidate Orientation Programs. The second one was August 6-11, 2022, with three couples. May we introduce those who participated in this year’s COP! Johan & Haruko’s (Japan) mission is to plant a church in Osaka, Japan, saturate it with the Gospel of Christ, disciple the young generation through the Bible, and equip them to fulfill the Great Commission.

Japan is the world’s second-largest unreached nation, with only 0.5% born-again Christians. Part of our strategy is to connect with Heian Jogakuin high school through teaching days, start a small English School to build relationships and gain trust in society, reach out to the youth through English events with fun activities, and do church with evangelism and discipleship focus.
