Allow us to introduce ourselves, we are the Roses and we are Pioneers church planters to Japan, a wealthy, first-world nation that has an incredible need for the gospel. Our journey to Japan was not a direct one. Like every other nation on earth, we knew that Japan needed the gospel, but we had no idea that there could be a nation, free and open to Christianity, where over 100 million people have yet to hear the gospel one-time. But thats exactly what we discovered when we moved to Nagoya, Japan in order to teach and do English ministry. Over the course of two years, God would expose us to what He is doing to advance His Kingdom among the nations and what role He was calling us to take in this mission. Our vision, moving forward, is to help start Genesis International

College in Osaka, Japan, using the school as a platform to spark a church planting movement among young Japanese in one of the worlds ten largest mega-cities. As we embark on the next chapter of our story, we do so emboldened by a clear sense of Gods calling and His faithfulness

to equip and empower us by His Spirit for what He has called us to do. I hope that in the pages that follow, God would open your own heart to the spiritual needs of the people of Japan and provide an opportunity for you to make a difference for the Kingdom and the advance of the gospel among the Japanese people to the glory of God in Christ.
