Our teammates, Kevin & Kaori Laverman, have been serving in Kawasaki, Japan since 1999. In 2001, the Laverman's launched a church plant - Denen Grace Chapel (DGC). Many of the members are returnees to Japan who previously worked overseas.

 

God has provided the Lavermans an opportunity to begin a new work, in partnership with DGC, 20 minutes south of DGC in Musashi-Kosugi (MUKO). The goal would be to start a new church in this area. Click here to read more about MUKO.

 

Our family lives and works 20 minutes west of DGC in Azamino. This location is the location of our church plant.

 

In both MUKO and Azamino, hundreds of thousands of Japanese pass through these locations daily. Young families, the elderly, businessmen, blue collar workers and many more included.

 

Kevin & Kaori Laverman, Gary & Jennifer Chang and our family work in close proximity of each other to see these works happen by God's grace and guidance. And more teammates are coming!

 

Over the next 5-10 years, the goal would be to see many disciples made and new churches formed north and east as well. This will create a network of autonomous churches (Juujika Project) and the resourcing of gifts for the advancement of God's Glory in Japan!
