Help Christ Bible Institute create the Uchi-Soto Evangelism Resources to communicate the gospel more effectively in Japanese!

Exciting Potential with the Uchi-Soto Project

As we approach the end of 2023, we hope you will consider partnering with us in order to create the new Uchi-Soto Evangelism Project. Recently, some members of the project team have been using an early draft of the Uchi-Soto tools with an investigative Bible Study at their church. The initial response from the participants has been tremendous!

“This tool introduces the message of the bible in the context of Japanese culture. I really look forward to this coming out.”

“I’ve began considering the message about the bible as if it were really talking about me”

“Lately, reading the bible has become my hobby!”

We are so grateful for these responses, and we believe this new resource suite could be a great support for evangelism in Japan!

(Also, please be praying for the not-yet-Christians who participated in the pilot study. One of them is thinking about getting baptized next year!)

You can help!

In order to accomplish this goal we are seeking to raise $87,000 by the end of the year. Please consider joining us in this effort by making a contribution.

New Year’s Prayer Guide

Oshōgatsu is the Japanese holiday for New Year and is one of the most spiritually significant seasons in Japan. For Japanese Christians, Oshōgatsu poses many challenges: interactions with unbelieving family members, visits to the family grave at a Buddhist temple, pressure from family and coworkers to partake in rituals at Shinto shrines, etc. These all contribute to the fear and shame of being deemed soto as a Christian in Japanese society.

As difficult as it may be, Oshōgatsu also provides an opportunity. That is, an invitation to be united in prayer and cry out to the living God for the sake of His name and His people in Japan.

CBI has created a prayer guide designed to focus your intercession on the spiritual dynamics at play during this season. We invite you to join for this focused season of prayer over the New Year holiday!
