Osaka, Japan
Christians are losing the battle for the hearts of the Japanese people -- as Christianity has decreased 50 percent in Japan in the last 20 years. There are fewer Christians in Japan than in North Korea and about the same number as in Iraq (less than 1.5 percent). Japanese churches are dying because the younger generation is not coming to Christ. Ironically, this is in a country where their Constitution guarantees freedom of religion and believers can share openly.
Most Japanese see Christianity as a foreign religion irrelevant to them and are skeptical of established religion, following Shintoism and Buddhism and focusing on ancestor worship, materialism, and group conformity. Spiritual oppression engulfs Japan and suicide is on the rise.

Our Partners
Will & Elizabeth Peevy, The Hikari Project
Because we believe God wants to bring new life through Jesus to the Japanese people, Grace Point is partnering long term with the Hikari Project, Will and Elizabeth Peevy’s ministry in Osaka.
Osaka is the home of Japanese soul food and comedy, and Osakans are warm and vibrant.
The Peevys’ outreach is mainly to working people, sharing Christ to make Japanese disciples who can reach their country for Christ.
Prayer is the key to a mighty work of God in Japan, so please join us in praying for the people and the work. Also consider joining us on a short-term trip by completing the form above or emailing us for more information at the link below.
We are asking God to fulfill the promise he made to Jesus in Psalm 2:8, “Ask me and I will make the nations your inheritance.” You are part of the answer to that prayer.

Mustard Seed
Mustard Seed Christian Church Osaka began in October 2011. We are a Christian church that loves God and loves people. We gather every week to study God's Word, the Bible, and worship Jesus. Everyone is welcome! Please join us this week!
The name "Mustard Seed" comes from a parable Jesus told in the Bible. Matthew 13:31-32 - He put another parable before them, saying, “The kingdom of heaven is like a grain of mustard seed that a man took and sowed in his field. It is the smallest of all seeds, but when it has grown it is larger than all the garden plants and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and make nests in its branches.”
