Is like I said they need spiritual help. We need to send missionaries there. No one listens to me. They all want to go to Haiti so they may “feel good” about helping the poor.
How about helping the “spiritually poor”???? This article shows just how spiritually poor Japan is.
Actually, it is likely much worse than this article shows.
Ann Coulter ventured into this territory, so I won’t.
While there may be up to 3 million Japanese Christians, Christianity in Japan is spread among many denominational affiliations.
There are fewer than 1% of the population claim Christian belief or affiliation. Nearly all known traditional denominations of Christianity, including Roman Catholicism, Protestantism and Orthodox Christianity, are represented in Japan today
Presently there are about 509,000 Catholics in 16 dioceses in Japan.
Arriving in Japan in the middle of the 16th century, Catholicism was the very first contact of Christianity in Japan
There are at present estimated to be 500,000 Protestant Christians in Japan. Dr. James Curtis Hepburn, M.D., LL.D. (March 13, 1815 – June 11, 1911) was the first Presbyterian missionary to Japan, arriving in 1859.
It is estimated that the Japanese Orthodox Church has some 30,000 adherents today. The primate’s seat is the Holy Resurrection Cathedral in Chiyoda, Tokyo. Originally founded in 1891. Eastern Orthodoxy was brought to Japan in the 19th century by St. Nicholas (baptized as Ivan Dmitrievich Kasatkin), who was sent in 1861.
In 2013 the number of Jehovah’s Witnesses was 216,472
As of year-end 2009, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church) reported 123,245 members
Just a few quick points from Wiki - they’ve had missionaries for a good long time... since the 1500’s.
