Say Yes To Japan — Organization Profile
Say Yes To Japan is a Christian missions information and networking ministry that serves as an unofficial bulletin board for Christian Church/Church of Christ missionaries in Japan. The ministry showcases current missionaries, points readers toward resources, and helps churches and individuals better understand the spiritual needs and mission opportunities in Japan.
The ministry is associated with the Christian Church / Church of Christ and focuses on Japan, Japanese people, and Japan-related mission connections in the United States and other countries. Say Yes To Japan represents Japan and Japan missionaries each year at the International Conference on Missions, usually held in November. Its website states that the ministry brings decades of Japan missions experience to this work.
Say Yes To Japan began through a cooperative Japan missions exhibit at the 1999 National Missionary Convention. The exhibit was created to help renew interest in Japan missions, and it has been operated by missionaries on furlough, former missionaries, and mission recruits. That history reflects the ministry’s core role: connecting people who care about Japan with those already serving, praying, recruiting, teaching, or preparing for mission work.
The organization’s website provides several practical resource areas. Its Missionaries section includes photos, summaries, and contact information for current Christian Church/Church of Christ missionaries serving in Japan. Its Job Ideas section points readers toward possibilities such as teaching at Christian schools, teaching English, and exploring creative ministry options. Its Resources section gathers links for Japanese-language Bible study and Christian media, churches in Japan, Japanese language and culture, Japan news, college-related resources, Christian organizations, missionary sending organizations, and prayer and outreach tools.
Say Yes To Japan also serves people who are exploring mission service. The ministry states that it advises potential Japan mission workers of all ages, educates readers on Japan’s spiritual climate, offers strategies for prayer and witnessing to Japanese people living in the United States, connects Japanese seekers to Christians and churches, communicates with missionaries to encourage and assess needs, and networks with missionaries of other denominations, Christian organizations, and campus ministries.
People can engage with Say Yes To Japan by using its missionary directory, contacting the ministry for personalized guidance, visiting its ICOM exhibit, exploring job and mission resources, praying for Japan, sharing Japan-related mission needs, and connecting with missionaries or sending agencies listed on the site. Its distinct contribution is a specialized Japan missions hub that connects churches, potential workers, missionaries, seekers, and resource organizations for Gospel work among Japanese people.
