How can we make critical resources available?

One of the biggest challenges Christians in Japan face is the scarcity of biblical, gospel-centered resources. Japanese Pastors work hard day after day to lead their flocks, but frequently experience deep inner disappointment. There is a desperate need for resources that do not yet exist, resources that they can use to equip believers to live out the gospel in their families and with their neighbors.

For 17 years Christ Bible Institute has prioritized equipping Japanese Christians for gospel ministry. We aim to further support those we have trained, along with every Christian in Japan, by providing helpful and easily accessible discipleship resources.

The challenge of getting these resources into the hands of Japanese Christians is multiplied by how dynamics in Japanese society scatter and isolate Christians from one another. Pastors ministering amidst these challenges are asking for easy to access biblical resources to share with their flocks. CBI is poised to help.

We are ready to significantly increase our production of biblical, gospel-centered resources made available to the whole Christian community in Japan. In order to do this, we are significantly expanding our online and social media presence. Through our new website and social media engagements, every Japanese Christian in Japan and around the world, will have FREE access to our library of videos and Christian articles in Japanese.

#1 Social Media

CBI is actively making gospel-centered resources available as broadly as possible and as accessible as possible. But we need your help to do a lot more.

Need: staffing, hardware, software, advertising, and administrative support (Total $42,000)

#2 Video Resources

Working with Paul Tripp ministries we developed a new bilingual video on the gospel in life.

CBS Professor Richard Brash partnered with CBI Press Translator Yuko Brash to produce a video series, in Japanese, based on his book Knowing Me, Knowing God.

With your help, we hope to develop many more resources like these in the future!

Need: video creation, studio improvements, hardware, administrative support (Total $40,000)

#3 Article Resources

With the launch of our CBI Press resource website, we have released over 20 translated articles and have 40 more on the way. These are articles are by respected authors like Ed Welch, John Frame, Mike Emlet, and more.

Need: translators, writers, editors, proofreaders, administrative support (Total $53,000)

This year-end, CBI is raising funds to help multiply our free online resources and make them easily available via social media, as well as to host a banquet focused on connecting these new resources with our CBS graduates. Our goal for this project is to raise $150,000 by the end of the year.

By God’s grace, we already have $50,000 pledged in matching grants to help us reach our total goal. That leaves us with $100,000 to raise. Please join us in this effort to support Japanese pastors and equip Christians in Japan for the work of gospel ministry.

Any funds raised over our goal will go to publish and distribute additional resources for the church in Japan.

For the Scripture says, “Everyone who believes in him will not be put to shame.” For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; for the same Lord is Lord of all, bestowing his riches on all who call on him. For “everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”
- Romans 10:11-13, ESV
