In this interview, we sit down with Nao Fukushima at the Tachikawa Church of Christ in Tokyo, Japan, to discuss the realities of preaching the gospel in one of the most secular nations in the developed world.

Japan presents unique cultural and spiritual challenges. Congregations are often small. Growth is slow. Evangelism requires patience, consistency, and deep relationship-building.

In this conversation, Nao shares:

• The spiritual climate in Japan

• Cultural barriers to Christianity

• What long-term evangelism really looks like

• How foreign supporters can truly help the work

This interview provides an honest look at gospel work in Japan from someone laboring on the ground every day.
