Sep 2012
Japan has long been considered a resistant mission field. Years of mission effort have yielded small results. But the overwhelming effects of the earthquake, tsunami, and nuclear disaster of 2011 have opened the doors of opportunity and Christian leaders in Japan are asking for help. Poised to answer the call is a new strategic partnership between two very different mission organizations – Asian Access and SIM.
Following a thorough process of examining their respective organizations’ DNA, the leadership teams of Asian Access and SIM seized the opportunity in forming a new model of mission work. Each is maximizing its strengths; each was willing to adapt to the other’s needs. Both believe that by working together a greater outcome will result.
This new collaboration is not a merger or simply a sharing of office functions; it is truly a new way of doing mission together, where each team brings its strengths and commits to a common kingdom vision. SIM assumes responsibility for recruiting missionaries and for missionary support services such as financial accounting, training, and U.S.-based care. Asian Access retains responsibility for championing the overall vision in Japan, managing the strategy of missionary deployment through its network of Japanese churches, and caring for Japan-based missionary personnel. The partnership requires ongoing teamwork, but retains organizational strengths and fiduciary controls. Together they want to plant 1,000 churches in Japan by 2020 and mobilize 1,000 Japanese missionaries.
