Packed with practical help, Sharing Your Faith with Your Japanese Neighbour calls attention to cultural differences and will give you ideas for sharing the Gospel with the Japanese people in your life.

What is the best way to share the gospel with Japanese people we meet? OMF has been spreading the good news of Jesus in East Asia for over 150 years, and that knowledge and experience shine through in this helpful guide.

The book is split into three sections:

• A Brief Outline of Japan’s History
• Becoming a Friend
• Witnessing to Japanese People

Each section highlights things to be aware of when speaking to someone from Japan and how cultural differences might impact how they relate to you. The book encourages you to form genuine friendships and to invite them into your life as well as into your faith. Hugely practical, this book will be invaluable to anyone who longs to tell their Japanese neighbour about Jesus. 

There are several additional resources included, such as suggested further reading, where to find Japanese Bibles and Bible study materials, and useful contacts. The appendix includes:

• 10 ways to build relationships
• 10 ideas for helping Japanese practically
• 10 key aspects of Japanese culture
• 10 obstacles to communicating the gospel
• 10 ways to get involved where you are now
• 10 issues to cover when discipling
