Within six months, the team set up the COOS Osaka Center whereby they ran various activities and programs for both adults and children. Through building friendships with the Japanese, the team had opportunities to share the Gospel with them. Our previous mission teams have also contributed much to the work in Osaka. Through running programs (such as cooking demonstrations) and parties for both children and adults and befriending the locals, many of them had the opportunity to share their testimonies with the Japanese. To visit our COOS Osaka website, click on the link: https://coosnihon.jp/ We need more workers for the field! The Love Singapore churches have initiated the Love Japan Project to mobilize and send more workers to Japan in the coming years. Under this project, COOS will be the coordinating church for the Kansai region. Let’s trust God to raise up the laborers! Recruitment of Volunteers Come befriend the Japanese via online platforms and join us 1 weekday evening per week to engage them in conversational English.
