In Japan, if you are lonely, you don’t have to be alone. You can rent a family or friends. Loneliness has reached epidemic proportions in Japanese society, but God has a cure for the epidemic. He is a “father to the fatherless, a defender of widows,” and He “sets the lonely in families.” And He is sending a gregarious, joy-filled family to Japan to plant a community of believers that will become a family where God will place the lonely.
Join A Team!
You may go, you may pray, you may provide financial support, you may provide logistical support — however you contribute, it is our conviction that all believers should be part of a team seeking to reach the unreached.
The opportunities featured in this category give you the chance to do just that — join a team dedicated to bringing the news of Jesus' love to those who have never heard the gospel.
Church Planting Along a Japanese Travel Corridor
The church has a history of using travel-related infrastructure for the rapid dissemination of the gospel. Just as the apostolic band made strategic use of the Roman system of roads, the Tsukuba Express line in Japan represents a strategic opportunity today. Assemblies of God missionaries Chris and Lindsey Carter, along with their developing church-planting team, are taking advantage of that opportunity.

Hope in the Land of the Rising Sun
Over 43,000 children and teenagers in Tsukuba, Japan — raised in an honor-shame culture — are desperately in need of hope. Who will tell them of Jesus and His love? Who will tell them of the sun of righteousness who rises with healing in his wings? Josh and Erin McCoin, Assemblies of God missionary associates, have answered God’s call! Learn how God has uniquely qualified them to reach children and youth in Japan for Jesus!
Beauty For Ashes
Poverty, sadness, captivity, mourning, grieving, ashes, and despair were not the end of the story in the lives of Assemblies of God missionaries Kelly and Jenni Conrady. And because of God’s work in their lives and because of His call, those words are not the end of the story for the Garifuna people of Honduras. Read how Jenni and Kelly are uniquely prepared to take the good news of Jesus to the Garifuna and how you can join their team.
Let The Children Come To Me
Mike and Kari Ness are Assemblies of God missionaries in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. For over 20 years, they have answered God’s call to embrace and bless the children of Africa, to take them into their arms and lead them into God’s blessing, inviting them to relationship with Him. Their vision is to work in partnership with national churches to reach Africa’s next generation, one child at a time.
Planting Churches Where There Is No Hope
The nation of North Macedonia has historically been characterized by poverty, unemployment, and war, and as a result, hopelessness is no stranger to North Macedonian society. Abortion, drug abuse, suicide, and human trafficking are just some of the evils which unfortunately fill the vacuum. But Assemblies of God missionaries Tim and Elle Bentley are bringing hope by introducing Macedonian communities to an authentic relationship with Jesus.

It Is a Blessing to Give Up Your All to Obey Jesus!
When she gave her heart to the Lord at the age of twenty, Tamara Henkes told Him she would give Him her all and that has been the focus of her life ever since. As she likes to put it, she is “all in” for Jesus. That means being willing to step out and do things that are out of her comfort zone, that she may not feel equipped to do. Now, she is being stretched to make disciples in a land where roughly .05% (not five percent, but 5/100 of one percent) of the population is evangelical.
