Mission to Nakashibetsu
Crossway Church of the San Fernando Valley will be sending a team of six people to a church in Nakashibetsu, Japan to help spread the gospel of Jesus Christ in a country where less than 1% of the population are Christians. We will be reunited with Hirotaka and Chihoyo Kawano who we worked alongside from 2007 to 2015 at Chino Christ Church in Chino, Japan. Nakashibetsu is in Hokkaido, located in the far northeast of Japan. Tomorrow our team members will meet for the first time to make plans and preparations for the mission, and to prepare our hearts to be united with one another in serving our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. It is an exciting time as we take the first step in the journey that will take us to Japan from July 19th to August 2nd.
