Reaching the Never Reached by
Sharing the Love of Jesus in Japan
Japan is the 2nd largest never reached people group in the world. Less than 1% of 125 million people are Christian. Tokyo, the largest metropolis in the world, is home to more than 36 million people who need to hear the gospel. Most people have no religious belief but practice Shinto/Buddhist rituals and traditions out of a sense of duty and fear.
Hopelessness, depression, and suicide are common in Japanese society. Only the life-giving message of Jesus Christ can bring hope and change to the Never Reached in Japan. In Japan young people are the most open to the gospel. Reaching and discipling them is key to reaching families, communities, and the marketplace. In 2022 Chi Alpha Japan was able to restart on campuses to reach students, but more workers are needed to reach 3 million students on +1,000 universities.
