ECC (Evangelical Covenant Church) 

The vision of our group is to make more Jesus disciples among more populations in a more caring and just world. We pursue this vision in Japan in partnership with the Japan Covenant Church (日本聖契キリスト教団) and others as we

• start and strengthen churches,
• make and deepen disciples,
• develop leaders, and
• love mercy and do justice.

These actions take shape through a variety of ministries (see bottom right).

We are a small mission and by God’s grace have successfully navigated the transition from “missionary-as-parent, denomination-as-child” to a national church/mission partnership of trust, creativity, and cooperation. Our mission is increasingly multi-cultural, multi-lingual, and multi-generational.

Some specific areas we pray about are

• the struggles of different learners in the Japanese educational system,
• school non-attendance,
• hikikomori,
• internet addiction,
• mental health care, and
• suicide.

As God leads, we want to connect with others to make a positive difference in these areas.
