Church Plant Japan Mission Ministry Organization Donate Church Plant Japan Mission (Oikos Missional Community in Japan) We are Jack and Megumi Adams along with our children Chloe and Ethan, called to reach the people of Japan through outreach, discipleship and launching missional communities where less than roughly .05% make up evangelical Christians making Japan the 2nd largest unreach people group globally. Our mission is three-fold: Make and multiply disciples. Relationships built on trust and a safe place to openly share are foundational for discipleship to take root in Japan. A home as a place to gather to grow life-on-life relationships has proven effective as Japanese people as a whole will not show up to a church building even when invited. Our vision is to multiply making disciples through using homes turning them into houses for God’s mission or Mission Houses much like the start of the early Church. 2. Encourage and support Japanese church workers. Many Japanese church leaders we have built relationships with are over 65 years of age with no next in line leader. Many pastors are preaching at 2 or 3 churches due to pastors aging out or dying. This is leaving most with no capacity for reaching others to multiply the church body. We have much respect for Japanese pastors and their perseverance in leading church congregations for decades, most with less than 20 congregants. We come alongside church leaders and participate in their local church services and invite them into outreach activities OR help them launch and sustain their own. 3. Fight for the broken and forgotten. Japan is rooted in an honor-shame culture. Maintaining harmony in the group is crucial by fulfilling social expectations and obligations established in the culture or by society/family/group. The burden of avoiding embarrassment and concern for how others perceive an individual puts a lot of pressure on that individual starting at a young age. Those that can not live up to this standard often are looked down upon, talked about or being shunned by family/group OR one accpets their shame and decides to leave the group altogether resulting in loneliness, isolation and even suicide. We launched an initiative - Not Alone. Our aim is to reverse the trend of isolation through public awareness and active engagement with those that are broken and forgotten with hopes of multiplying our efforts through other local churches. Brief History to Present Day In 2018, we started our mission at the southern tip of Japan, on the island of Kyushu in the city of Kagoshima. We have been connecting with locals, growing relationships at our weekly gatherings in our Kagoshima Mission House and building bridges with existing Japanese church leaders and fellow missionaries in Kyushu and throughout Japan. We have experienced God working through the ministries and outreach activities we have established. We have made Jesus known to many throughout our local community and have witnessed lives transformed by the love of Jesus as well as spiritual growth in the lives of those that God has given us to disciple. In June 2026, we were approved as a registered non-profit organization by the Japanese Government as Oikos Missional Community giving us the ability to freely multiply our efforts in cities and regions where we are led to GO. July 2026, we secured our Tokyo Mission House where we will launch our 2nd missional community fall of 2026. Our mission in reaching the Japanese is by the grace of God, fueled by prayer and sustained by the generosity of our financial partners. JOIN US ON MISSION through a one-time donation or by designating a monthly amount making Jesus known in Japan impacting the lives of the Japanese people.

Missionary The Ciriaco Family DONATE Missionaries to China For more than 25 years, our family has been serving Jesus in cross-cultural missions, and for the past several years God has called us to China—a nation of more than 1.4 billion people where millions have little or no opportunity to hear the gospel. We are passionate about seeing lives transformed through the love of Christ and equipping believers to become disciple-makers who impact their communities and the nations. We believe that China is not only a mission field but also one of God’s strategic mission forces to reach the world. Our ministry focuses on planting and strengthening local churches, developing small groups, discipling believers, and training Christian leaders through discipleship schools, leadership development, and Bible teaching. We also invest in university students, families, business professionals, and international communities, helping them grow into mature followers of Jesus who will make disciples wherever God sends them. Through partnerships with churches and mission organizations, we are committed to raising a new generation of leaders who will carry the gospel throughout Asia and beyond. Serving long-term in China requires perseverance, flexibility, and faith. Along with the daily work of ministry, we navigate the unique challenges of living cross-culturally, raising our family overseas, maintaining legal residency, and responding to new opportunities God continually opens. Every changed life, every new believer, every leader trained, and every church strengthened is possible because faithful partners stand with us through prayer and financial support. We would be honored to invite you to become part of this mission. Your prayers sustain us, open doors, and strengthen us for the work God has called us to do. Your financial partnership enables us to remain on the field, train leaders, care for people, and continue advancing the gospel in one of the world’s most strategic mission fields. Together, we can see lives transformed, disciples multiplied, and the Kingdom of God expanded throughout China and beyond The Ciriaco Family Donate

Missionary Maxim Liguori DONATE Hi, my name is Maxim, I’m 18 and I live in France! I grew up in a Christian family. Very quickly, I experienced His love and the power of His name especially when I learned that I was not supposed to live and when He healed my mother for a deadly illness. I got baptized in 2023 when I was 15 and I graduated from high school last year with highest honor. I took a Gap year to do a missionary training school in Nashville TN. In that school we learned about God’s character and nature on a deeper level as well as His heart for missions. Then we were all sent in seven different teams all over the world to preach the gospel ! My team and I stayed in the US and we did a 9-week tour in 15 different cities and 6 different states which included, Tennessee, Texas, Georgia, Florida etc.… Our goal? To commission Gen Z and share the love of Christ to the most people possible. We went to college campuses, high schools, in the street to preach the gospel, we prayed for prisoners in a jail, we served in churches, we gave food to homeless people and we took take of refugee children after school. God was there and helped us keep up the high pace of evangelism. With His help, we saw 16 people give their life to Jesus!!! And now I feel like God is calling me to come back to Nashville to help with the next school coming this fall. I will be pastoring, leading the students in Nashville to the nations, I will be serving and playing drums in different worship sets and I will be serving with local homeless ministry. What my heart burns for: I want to see Gen Z walk in total surrender and serve the Lord. More than ever, we need a generation of people saying «yes» and I want to help with that. Through the school, I will be able to disciple those people who will themself disciple more people etc. This will create a snowball effect to reach the most people possible to the ends of the earth ! My prayer needs: I obviously need prayer for finances. Because I’m from France, I will spend a lot on tickets and my visa doesn’t allow me to stay more than 6 months nor to work there. You can also pray for family. I’m so grateful that they are open for me to leave for so long and to be so far away. Pray that they will have peace and that they will not be suffering from me not being there (especially for my 7 years old brother). Pray for France and for more missionaries to be sent (Matthew 9:38). I believe in a generation of people fighting for the gospel to grow in my country. All glory belongs to God! Maxim Donate

Missionary Mitch Azares DONATE Hi my name is Mitch, and I am a full-time missionary with YWAM Impact Philippines serving Jesus through missions, discipleship, and the local church. I am married to my husband, who serves as the head pastor of our local church, and together we have the privilege of serving God’s people and carrying the hope of the gospel to communities that need the love of Christ. Our calling is to make disciples, serve faithfully, and demonstrate Jesus’ compassion through practical acts of love and sacrifice. One of the greatest ministries God has entrusted to us is caring for vulnerable young people who come from broken backgrounds, including those who have experienced neglect, abuse, abandonment, and extreme poverty. Our church has become a place of refuge where these young people can experience safety, belonging, and the love of a family. We provide for their needs through food, shelter, daily necessities, education support, and discipleship. Beyond meeting their physical needs, our greatest desire is for them to encounter Jesus, experience healing and restoration, discover their identity in Christ, and walk in the purpose God has prepared for them. God has also called us to bring the church beyond the walls of the building and into the communities around us. Through missions, evangelism, discipleship, children’s ministry, feeding programs, and community outreach, we seek to share the gospel with those who are often forgotten and overlooked. Through our partnership with YWAM, we continue joining monthly mission outreaches with fellow missionaries, reaching communities, tribal areas, and remote islands through the proclamation of God’s Word, discipleship, leadership encouragement, and practical expressions of Christ’s love. As a pastor’s wife, I have the privilege of discipling and empowering women in our church and communities, encouraging them to grow in their faith and become women who influence their families and communities for Christ. Everything we do flows from what Jesus has done in our own lives. Having experienced His grace and transforming love, we carry a deep passion to see the forgotten, broken, and hopeless encounter the same Jesus who changed us. As we continue serving the Lord as a missionary family, we are praying for faithful partners who will walk with us in this season. We are expecting our first baby soon, and we are trusting God for His provision as we raise our family while continuing the ministry He has entrusted to us. We are praying to raise around ₱60,000 per month (approximately $1,000 USD) to help cover our family needs, including giving and generosity, groceries, transportation, ministry-related expenses, and savings for the future. If the Lord leads you, you can partner with us through monthly or one-time support. Your partnership will help us continue caring for vulnerable youth, strengthening our local church, and bringing the gospel to communities through missions and outreach. We believe that every prayer, encouragement, and generous gift is a valuable part of God’s Kingdom work, and together we can continue seeing lives transformed for the glory of Jesus Christ. If you have any questions or would like to know more about our ministry and how you can partner with us, please feel free to email us at mitchguiral2002@gmail.com . We would be blessed to connect with you and share more about what God is doing through this ministry. Donate

Missionary Mathilde Dale DONATE Hi! My name is Mathilde Dale, I'm 21 years old from Norway, and three years ago I encountered Jesus in a way that completely transformed my life. He turned everything upside down—in the best way possible. He gave me a new identity in Him, a new purpose, and a new life. Ever since then, my greatest desire has been to know Jesus more and to make Him known. As I have walked with Him, God has broken my heart for the unreached—for the millions of people who have never had the opportunity to hear the name of Jesus. I believe He is calling me to go wherever He leads, even to the hardest and darkest places, because Jesus is worthy of wholehearted devotion. I want to follow Him with everything I have. Right now, I serve on staff with the DTS (Discipleship Training School) at YWAM Grimerud, where I have the privilege of discipling young people who want to grow in their relationship with Jesus. I will also be leading another outreach team, helping equip and encourage others to know Christ and make Him known among the nations. It is an incredible honor to walk alongside people as they discover God's heart and His calling for their lives. Looking ahead, my long-term calling is to move to an unreached nation and dedicate my life to sharing the hope of the Gospel where Jesus is still unknown. I would love to invite you to be part of this journey. Missions are never a one-person calling—it is something we do together. If God puts it on your heart, I would be so grateful if you would partner with me through prayer and financial support. Your prayers, encouragement, and generosity make it possible for me to continue saying "yes" to where God is leading. Thank you for taking the time to read my story. I would be honored to have you join me as we seek to make Jesus known among the nations. Blessings!! Mathilde Donate

Missionary Grace Mudenda DONATE Hello! My name is Grace Mudenda, and I am originally from Zambia. It is a privilege to share a glimpse of the journey God has been writing in my life. I currently serve full-time with Youth With A Mission (YWAM) in Seogwipo, South Korea. My ministry includes discipleship, worship, mentoring, and cross- cultural ministry, investing in people from different nations as they grow in their relationship with Christ and are equipped to serve wherever He leads. Alongside my ministry, I am in a pioneering season as the Lord leads me in developing SURF—a ministry vision inspired by the waves reaching every shore. SURF exists to build bridges between cultures, invite and equip young people for cross-cultural missions through discipleship, and cultivate healthy, sustainable pathways that strengthen missionaries for long-term Kingdom impact. My heart is to see missionaries not only sent, but strengthened to flourish faithfully for the long term as they make Christ known among the nations. I believe the Great Commission is fulfilled through the whole Body of Christ. While some are called to go, others are called to send, pray, encourage, and faithfully partner in the work God is doing among the nations. Are you passionate about building bridges between cultures ? Are you passionate about cross-cultural missions? Do you desire to see young people answer God’s call and carry the hope of Christ to every shore? Do you long to see missionaries equipped and strengthened to serve faithfully for the long term? I invite you to consider partnering with me through prayer, encouragement, and financial support. Together, we can build bridges between nations, equip disciples, strengthen missionaries for long-term Kingdom impact, and see lives transformed for the glory of God. Thank you for taking the time to visit my page. Your partnership is an investment in people, disciples, and nations being reached with the hope of Christ. I am truly grateful for your prayers, your generosity, and your willingness to be part of this journey. May God richly bless you. Grace Donate

Missionary Makenna Potter DONATE Dear Family and Friends, I want to share an exciting opportunity that God has placed in front of me and invite you to partner with me through prayer and financial support. This fall, I have the opportunity to attend YWAM (Youth With A Mission). A few years ago, I heard about YWAM through friends at church, and after hearing their testimonies I was instantly inspired and desired to experience it too. Since then, my desire to attend, grow, learn, and serve through this program has only become greater. I can’t wait to see what God has for me on this journey! I will be doing a program called Fire & Fragrance (FFX) in Nashville — a 5-month mission experience focused on growing deeper in relationship with Jesus while being equipped for outreach and missions. FFX is made up of two parts: Lecture and Outreach. Through this program, I will receive practical missions training, grow spiritually, and be sent out to reach people with the love and hope of Jesus. The heart behind Fire & Fragrance is to train and activate people in their passions, skills, and in telling people about Jesus. I truly believe this season will strengthen my faith, challenge me to grow, and prepare me to serve others more effectively. In order to attend, I need to raise $12,000 to cover tuition, housing, outreach expenses, food, and other mission-related costs. I am praying for a team of people who would partner with me financially and more importantly support me through prayer. Here are a few things you can be praying for: * That I will grow into a deeper and stronger relationship with Jesus through this experience * For wisdom, strength, and boldness during outreach * For all the people we will meet and minister to * For God’s provision throughout this jour Thank you for taking the time to read this and for considering partnering with me. I am so grateful for your support and excited to see all that God will do through this experience! Please feel free to reach out, I would love to talk or meet up, and answer any questions I can that you might have. With Love, Makenna Potter Philippians 4:4-9 Donate

Missionary Genesis Lopez DONATE Hi friends! My name is Genesis Lopez. God radically changed my life. For as long as I can remember, I have had a passion for missions, but I never thought it was possible for someone my age or someone who knew so little about the Bible. That changed when I arrived at Circuit Riders. I was 23 years old and surrounded by a community of young people who were passionately pursuing God's heart. They knew Jesus in a way that surpassed anything I had experienced in all my years of serving in ministry and living a Christian life. I realized what I had been missing: I wasn't simply made to serve Jesus—I was made for a relationship with Him. Seeing the depth of their intimacy with God completely transformed my faith. The vision of Circuit Riders is to revive the saved, save the lost, and train them all. Believing God was calling me deeper, I left my job, financial security, friends, and family to attend the Circuit Riders Discipleship Training School, which I completed in June 2026. During that season, God completely transformed my life. For the first time, I truly understood that God not only loved me—He genuinely liked me. I came face to face with His love and realized I couldn't fix myself. He met me in my anxiety, depression, addiction, and lack of identity, and He redeemed my understanding of His love, my purpose, and who He created me to be. During outreach, I had the privilege of serving in the Philippines, where our team shared the Gospel on more than 30 university campuses. We saw over 200 students give their lives to Jesus. That experience marked me forever because it reminded me that this generation is searching for hope but they just don't always know they are searching for Jesus. Because of what God has done in my life, I know this is only the beginning. I will be stepping on staff with Circuit Riders because I believe the Lord is calling me into a deeper season of surrender, discipleship, and helping this generation know Jesus and make Him known.My heart is to see women and young people united, equipped, and empowered to carry the love of Jesus wherever they go. As I step into this next season, I would be so honored if you would prayerfully consider partnering with me. Your prayers and financial support make it possible for me to continue reaching young people, discipling believers, and helping see a generation seek after God's heart. Together, we can believe for a generation that is revived, transformed, and wholeheartedly in love with Jesus. Genesis Donate

Missionary Jonathan & Janet Stumbo DONATE Jonathan and Janet Stumbo have spent their lives following the Lord’s leading when He opens a door. Their calling is to strengthen His Church by equipping leaders, serving pastors, and helping bring God's Word to people who have never had the opportunity to read it in their own language. Today, they are partnering with Serve the Global Church, an international Bible translation ministry committed to helping hundreds of language communities around the world experience God’s love through Scripture. Their passion is not simply to see Bibles translated, but to disciple and equip the local men and women God has called to lead that work in Scripture engagement. Over the past several years, Jonathan and Janet directed hundreds of active Bible translation projects throughout the South Pacific. Together with dedicated indigenous leaders, they have helped train translation teams, encourage ministry leaders, and support translation efforts that have enabled many language communities to receive the New Testament in just a few years rather than waiting decades. While continuing on in Bible translation ministry, God has also opened an unexpected opportunity for them to serve Jonathan's hometown church in Iowa during the church’s senior pastor transition. It’s an honor to shepherd and encourage this congregation as interim pastors while the church prayerfully seeks God for a permanent lead pastor. As Jonathan and Janet look ahead, they are preparing for continued ministry throughout the South Pacific and beyond, partnering with local churches and indigenous leaders to accelerate Bible translation and strengthen the global Church. Thank you for praying for Jonathan and Janet. Please pray for wisdom as they continue working with Serve the Global Church, for the church they are currently shepherding, and for the many translation teams laboring to bring God's Word to people who are still waiting to receive it in their own language. Although the church in Iowa is providing for their living expenses during this temporary pastoral assignment, Jonathan and Janet's ongoing ministry with Serve the Global Church is sustained through the faithful prayers and financial partnership of individuals and churches who share their vision. Your partnership enables them to continue investing in Bible translation, developing indigenous leaders, and helping bring God's Word to people who have never had the opportunity to read it in their heart language.
