“Walk with God” Concept:

Live a Life counter to our fallen leanings and existence. We need to die to our Old Man (Galatians 2:20). We need to walk counter-culture and counter-fallenness …according to God’s “Way, Truth and Life” to the “The Fullness of LIFE” - Redemption, New Life, and Victory only through and in Jesus Christ! ... plus blessings (makarios: supreme blessings). “Kingdom of Heaven Blessings on Earth!”as referred to in the Sermon on the Mount – Matthew 5:3-12

Our "2020's Vision Japan" has accomplished the first leg of three prefectures:

2) Working with pastors of 50-70 member churches

3) And with Christian organizations of Nagoya City of Aichi Prefecture; Hamamatsu City of Shizuoka Prefecture; and Hirakawa City of Aomori Prefecture.

"2025 Japan"

It all began with an initial prayer walk in 2018

We believe the Lord is presently asking His people to assist in “build(ing) the wall” and “stand(ing) in the gap before Him (THE LORD GOD).” This is somewhat similar to “Making Disciples” for these times.

What We Are About

• You are to Be a Disciple and Make Disciples. The word, “matheteuo” means “be a disciple and to make a disciple!” – Matthew 28:18-20.

• Basically, we are to “Make Disciples who will make disciples! Then disciples who will further make disciples who will make disciples!

• There are also many different kinds and types of God’s disciples. – II Timothy 2:1-7. Matheteuo!
