LOVE KANSAI has safely come to an end


God is moving powerfully in the Kansai region.
From January 5–9, YWAM teams from Japan and overseas partnered with local churches in Osaka, Kyoto, and Hyogo to carry out a joint outreach focused on prayer, worship, and evangelism 🧑‍🤝‍🧑

LOVE Kansai was completed safely under God’s protection 😀

At the beginning of 2026, we gathered in Kyoto, Hyogo, and Osaka to lift up the name of Jesus Christ, pray for God’s will to be done in this land, and bring the Gospel into the streets ✝️

Approximately 80 people participated this time, and we were able to share the Gospel with many individuals.

Along the banks of the Kamo River in Kyoto, we shared the Gospel with one high school student, prayed a blessing over them, and gave them a New Testament Bible.
We were also able to share the Gospel with three university students 🧑‍🤝‍🧑

Additionally, one team met an artist who was selling her work on the street.
When they shared the Gospel and asked her, “Would you like to read the Bible?” she replied:

“I would love to! I can’t wait to read the words of Jesus and turn them into works of art.”

We are deeply thankful that the outreach was blessed, and we give thanks to Jesus, who faithfully led us through it all 🙏
