“International students represent the future leaders of their countries at all levels of society. I can’t think of a more strategic missionary investment than the discipling of these people.” —Dr. Howard G. Hendricks
I am Japanese, and I care deeply about the Japanese people. Many Japanese students come to the United States to attend college. I minister with The Navigators at a campus in Long Beach, California, where I develop relationships with Japanese students to tell them about Jesus and how to have a personal relationship with Him.
This is a strategic ministry, because many of the students I interact with will one day return to Japan (which has fewer than 1% evangelical Christians) where they will reunite with their families and friends, serve in business and government, and potentially have a significant impact for Christ.
Wherever the Lord leads these students after college, I’m investing in them here and now for a lifetime of walking with Him!
