:: Asian Access
Full Description:
Are you interested in coming to Japan on a short‐term missions trip and working with some great missionary kids?
Each year, Asian Access, a mission agency dedicated to developing leaders and planting churches across Japan, holds its annual mission‐wide retreat in the beautiful, snowy mountains of Nagano. The purpose of his retreat is to equip and refresh missionaries who serve alongside Japanese congregations.
We have a need for a team of 6‐10 people who share a passion to invest in the children in the mission so that they can shine Christ in this dark country. In past years, children’s ministry teams have run a program much like a Vacation Bible School ministry. This is a unique opportunity for anyone who loves kids and would like the chance to serve (in English!) in Japan. You would also have some great interaction with missionaries from all over the country!
The ministry dates are in March 2011, but are not yet solidified. Also, there is the potential to participate in ministry elsewhere in Japan around the conference dates.
Ages & Numbers of Children
* 1-3 infants
* 8-12 Toddlers ~ Preschoolers
* 8-12 Elementary students
* 8-12 "Teens"
