Is Japan Really a Graveyard for Missionaries???

Is Japan really only 1% Christian? In this powerful episode, I sit down with Masa Morishita, senior pastor of Awakening Asia Church in Tokyo, to talk about the raw truth behind ministry in one of the hardest places to preach the gospel. From growing up atheist in a gang-affected home to a supernatural encounter that changed everything, Masa’s story is wild, humbling, and drenched in the power of God. We talk about what it takes to plant churches in Japan, why so many missionaries burn out, and how the Holy Spirit is awakening a generation in Asia. If you’ve ever felt called to missions, Japan, or ministry in spiritually dry places… this one is for you. → Send this to someone who has a heart for Japan! Like the episode?
