Missions to Japan

Meet drake bartlett

Thank you for taking the time to get to know me! I was born and raised in Charleston, SC as a part of a broken family. Religion was never a part of my home life, so I identified as an atheist most of my life. At 17, I encountered the Holy Spirit for the first time and immediately realized Jesus was Lord. I spent 4 years during college as a youth minister at the same church I was converted in. For the last 3 years, I’ve worked as a middle school teacher. Now I’m a Missionary Associate with AGWM in Osaka, Japan.

Sozo Church is a NEW church plant in Osaka, Japan specifically designed to reach the Japanese people who have never heard the Gospel of Christ. We believe the Gospel is for these people! We believe that the Spirit of God is preparing to pour NEW wine into this nation. We believe in a NEW wave of the Spirit of God. We believe a NEW day is rising in Japan!

We believe, by the power of God, Sozo Church will reach the unreached of Japan with the goodness and grace of Jesus’ Gospel!

Japan is the largest un-evangelized nation that is completely open to missionaries. The primary religions of Japan are Buddhism and Shintoism, but many would claim they don’t have faith in either. Less than 1% of Japan is Christian, and less than 2% of those Christians are under 40. Of the top 20 unreached people groups, Japan is the only nation where Christianity is on the decline!

The people of Japan are looking for meaning and a savior, but they’ll never know that savior, Jesus, without those willing to go.

As a Missionary Associate with the Assemblies of God World Missions, I am only able to complete my role in reaching Japan with the blessing of faithful partners.

Your sacrificial giving, both as one time donations and monthly partnerships, see that I am able to go to and stay with the Japanese people as a worker of the Gospel.

All donations are tax-deductible, as we are a 501(c)3 organization.
