The cost of living in Japan is about 25 percent higher than in the States.

Missionary Giving.

What is needed to support a missionary family on the field? First, they must have an adequate salary to buy the necessities of life. They must also have adequate funds to conduct ministry. The cost of an effective outreach is similar to that of running a small business. In addition, the missionary family must have funds for special needs, such as travel expenses or education of their children in a foreign country.

Japan is an costly place to live and minister. This presents a challenge, but we strongly feel it should not be a barrier to reaching the Japanese people. God is able and will provide the necessary funds to His workers as they serve His purpose.

Our Needs Are Determined By TEAM.

TEAM has been in Japan since 1892. They understand well the cost of living and working there. And they have set a ministry budget for all missionaries in Japan. We must have a family of churches and individuals standing with us financially in order to serve in Japan.

Financial support of a missionary is a commitment between the individual (or church) and God. That is to say, it is "out of our hands" as missionaries. Give as God leads you, for as long as God leads you. But it is always helpful for us in our planning and preparation to know about your desire to help us.
