In this interview, we speak with 93-year-old Brother Obata in Gunma, Japan—a founding member of the Ochanomizu Church of Christ and a lifelong preacher of the gospel.

Currently battling pancreatic cancer, Brother Obata reflects on:


• Decades of church growth and struggle in Japan

• The spiritual challenges facing younger generations

• The future of the church in Japan

• His message to young gospel workers


This conversation is a rare opportunity to hear wisdom from a man who has given his entire life to the Lord’s church in Japan.

The work of evangelism in Japan is generational. Faithfulness today builds strength for tomorrow.
