| 总结: | It is a generally accepted view that the missionary enterprise in Japan is a very difficult task, if not an impossibility. This view, however, has been completely challenged by a church called the Yohan Tokyo Christ Church in Japan. Recently, this church has proven to be the most flourishing religious body among all the Christian institutions in Japan in both Protestant and Roman Catholic circles. How was the church birthed? How does the church run? Which methodologies does this church employ to evangelize the Japanese people? What real factors contributed to her growth? What other elements does this church need in order to foster continual development? The purpose of this article is to answer these questions in two ways: through careful analysis of primary sources concerning this church, and through direct observation of the church. |
