Partnership training for network reaching Japanese

The Reaching Japanese for Christ This Network met in late February 2008, drawing heavily from visionSynergy as it transforms itself into a well-functioning network of ministries across North America focused on evangelism among Japanese.

Attending were indigenous leaders from Japan, leaders of ministries based in the US, and others interested in evangelism aimed at the Japanese population.

visionSynergy Associate Dave Hackett gave presentations to this large conference on collaboration and on the potential to reach the Japanese through Internet and mobile evangelism.

Conference becomes Network and Multiplies

For years the “Reaching Japanese for Christ” National Conference was an unparalleled gathering of those interested in evangelism among Japanese nationals in the US. But the focus on this “event” did little to connect members to one another other than through informal conversations.

RJC leaders made a commitment to transform RJC into a network, empowering linkages between its members. The practical result? RJC members spawned regional networks in several other locations and more are being formed, more than tripling the reach of the RJC and generating new levels of training and linkages of people in ministry among Japanese nationals.
