Producing Gospel Resources for the Japanese People

According to the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), Japanese adults have the highest literacy in the world¹. Furthermore, the average Japanese person spends nearly 2 hours per day accessing the internet on their smartphone and 30 minutes per day reading blogs and websites². This is why CBI has made it a priority to distribute rich Gospel content in the form of written articles, hosted on our resource archive and shared on social media. We have 20+ high quality translated articles on our website, and have many more in the pipeline.

The Gospel is the good news that Jesus—the Son of God, the King, the Suffering Servant, the Shepherd, the Savior—has come to the world: to you and to me. Good news is information meant to be proclaimed and received. God is on the move to proclaim the good news of His Son in Japan, and CBI is gratefully poised to be a part of that.

You can help!

Translation from English to Japanese is incredibly time consuming and costly. Talented Japanese Christian content developers are overwhelmed, under-equipped, and few and far between. Through your generosity, CBI will be able to develop its translation, editing, and production capacity to provide more Gospel resources in Japanese.

In order to accomplish this goal we are seeking to raise $150,000 by the end of the year. By God’s grace, we have $50,000 in matching grants. Please consider joining us in this effort by making a contribution.
