It is an unfortunate fact that many Japanese Christians or those who have started seeking while overseas, often fall away from their faith or any connection with church after returning to Japan.

It is therefore a vital part of your ministry to visiting Japanese, to consider how you might prayerfully assist them in a successful return. For example prior to their return you may want to inform your friends of suitable churches or networks they can join when back in Japan. If you contact us we can give you suggestions for churches and networks.

In addition there are a number of resources below which you may find helpful. You will find further resources on the Returnees Connect Japan website.
