Church Vision

The stated vision of Shinsei no Sato is "That the City of Omura would again be the foremost Christian city in Japan, actively advancing the Kingdom of God to the ends of the earth.”  The methodology feel the Lord has given us is “To know Christ and make Him known, changing Japan one person at a time.” The background for this vision is that in the 16th Century Lord Sumitada Omura was the first Christian Daimyo (feudal chief) in all of Japan. 

When the Christian oppression started at the time of his son, the Christian population of Omura Fief was 80,000, which was certainly the major percentage of the total population. Returning Omura to that density of Christian faith is certainly impossible by human effort, which is why we are confident that this vision is from God. Only He can accomplish it, so all the glory is His!
