Straightforward 13 minutes of asking Japanese Christians why they became Christians.
It’s fascinating to hear. Japan has a very low percentage of Christians. Their answers are simple and direct. No embellishment or sensationalism yet reflect the working of The Holy Spirit.
Worth watching..
Has an interesting one about Japanese converts to Islam too
Can you give us a small peek behind the Rice Paper screen?
Did they find it easier to achieve and maintain an optimistic view of life from Christianity vs Shinto or Buddhism?
Unfortunately, I hear Islam is ‘one of the fastest growing religions’ in Japan. Ugg.
Yes, ISlime is a cancer on our species.
Really worth watching. Thanks for posting!
Maybe churches would be more popular in Japan if they had Pachinko fund-raisers. LOL
Interesting.
You’re welcome. Thanks for saying so. I thought so too.I felt like I learned something but am not sure how to articulate it.
Ping! Thank you for posting.
Only 1% of the Japanese population identifies as Christian.
Most identify as Buddhists, but not actively practicing.
I was glad to hear God is at work in Japan.
Cause they are importing Muslims to work! There are so many places to recruit from, why Muslims?
I plant to be in 長崎, Nagasaki for the commemoration of Paul Miki and Companions this February.
bookmark.
Pinging for later when I can watch
There are millions of Thai, Vietnamese, Phillipino and other Asian people who, I think, would be willing and able to work for Japan while establishing residence. Maybe Japan is being paid by deep Arab pockets to accept these Muslims.
Money can open many doors
it’s tragic that the largest population of Japanese Christians was wiped out by the atomic bomb dropped on Nagasaki.
“We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord.”
Japan has a very low percentage of Christians.
My brother lived in Japan for ~15 years, through the nineties up to '07. He told me he thinks the numbers are underreported for cultural reasons. He himself, the various places he lived, never had trouble finding a Christian church.
What you’re saying makes sense.
