Nara Lifesong Church is a small church in Nara, Japan. This year we have an opportunity to help fellow Japanese missionaries in Cambodia. Through Scripture, we see that the Lord calls His church to look to the world and go out with the gospel. Regardless of its size, the church can walk forward with the vision God has given. We desire to go to the nations in the power of the Holy Spirit and be witnesses for Christ.
<Lifesong Mission Statement>
To share the gospel of Jesus Christ to this city, this nation, and the world, and to lead people into a living relationship with God.
