SUMMER MISSIONS
Support 2026 Team!
The goal of the summer mission program is that you would fall in love with the people and country of Japan! Less than 1% are gospel believing Christians. So you will have cross-cultural experiences as you share your faith, build lasting friendships, and help local congregations reach out to their communities. We want your relationship to God deepen because of serving in Japan. God may call you to become a career missionary, and perhaps the journey begins here! You'll be helping JEMS reach Japan, one person at a time!
