Printed in South Africa by Anker Printers, Pretoria Japan Mission Japan Mission was founded by Neil and Peggy Verwey in 1957. It is a faith mission endeavouring to reach the seeking ones among the 127 million Japanese people. Japan Mission is interdenominational, not forming churches, but rather linking those reached through many avenues of ministry to already existing evangelical churches which believe and teach the fundamental doctrines of the Bible. The main emphasis of the work is to aid Japan’s approximately 7,800 churches, which have an average attendance of about 35 people. Because of their small congregations, the pastors are often in need of assistance with literature and their evangelistic programs. Areas of Outreach • Bibles & Literature • English Evangelism • Audio Visual Outreach • Hospital Evangelism &
