IR-ECRLiits for J/VPAi\by Mark G. Maxey

JAPAN NEEDS NEW MISSIONARY BLOOD. OTHERMISSION FIELDS NEED NEW MISSIONARIES, TOO, BUTI SPEAK FOR JAPAN. I THINK IT OUGHT TO HAVEPRIOR CLAIM. HERE'S WHY:

WHY JAPAN?

Japan has the greatest concentrated population in theFar East, 100,000,000 people in an area the size of California. This is a much larger population than lives in theentire northern half of the continent of Africa for example.

-Eeople, people everywhere is the rule in Japan.Japan is rated as the great civilized, industrial nation

of the East. True! But it is also a nation of non-religion,a spiritual desert whose people are now drifting, seekingsome goal in life. Shinto is not a life-force and never hasbeen. Buddhism is the basic source of Japanese customand personality, but it has long since lost its relevancy.Japan's home-grown religions are taking off like shootingstars offering not 'pic iri the sky' but health, happiness,and prosperity here and now. The nation's great thirst foreducation, pleasure, travel, pacifism, socialism and materialism has not satisfied the fundamental human longing to"seek God... and find Him. " In 100 years of history, Christianity has impregnated Japan with noble ideals and institutions but individual converts number less than 1% of thepopulation. Japan needs Christ NOW!

Not only is the need great, but Japan is one of the fewcountries in the East where missionaries may enter freely,

live where they please, and teach without hindrance of anykind. Christians have always interpreted open doors asGtod's leading. Japan's doors are wide open to men andwomen of character and purpose. We believe this is God'sleading. We believe Gk)d is calling Christian men and womento enter that door. Coupled with the open door are theseauxiliary facts :one language for the entire nation; the Biblein the vernacular, cheaply and freely available; a solidevangelical literature in existence; a fundamental good willtoward Christianity; a telegraph, telephone, mail, rail andairline systems equal to any in the world, tying the nationtogether into one unit and connecting it with the world.

Japan is the keystone to Asia strategically, economicallyand politically. No seasoned observer doubts this eventhough it will take another generation for the wounds of thewar to heal. We believe Japan will be the key to Asia religiously as well. Religious beliefs have always traveledalong with culture, commerce, and the intercourse of peoplewith other nations. This will continue. A Christian Japanwill have significant influence on the East. In its presentreligious state, that influence will be negative. Recruitsare needed to plant the seed of faith, nourish it, bring it tomaturity and send it forth to plant itself elsewhere.

Recruits are needed for replacements. This need iscritical. Twenty-nine church of Christ missionaries (overhalf of the total) came to Japan in the five year period 1950-1955. Since that time we have gained 6 and lost 14, a netloss of 8. There is not much of a future in this trend.The average direct support Christian missionary today isfortyish, served in Japan 13. C years, and has childern whohave already or soon will depart for college in the U. S.His parents are aging and ailing, his own body aches andpains can no longer be ignored, nervous tensions havereached the breaking point ana he often thinks seriously,not of taking his hand off the plow, but of plowing in someother field. From observable data, we knowthat it is during

their forties that many missionaries leave the field neverto return.

There must be a constant inflow of young, dedicatedmissionaries to replace them. But this has not been true ofJapan. Young missionaries are declaring for foreign fieldsconstantly but they are not choosing Japan. We know ofvery few young people who have publicly announced forJapan and are actively preparing to come to Japan - NOW.The most likely immediate prospects are the children ofJapan missionaries now in training in the U. S. Lonnie andDonnie Mings are the first of this noble vanguard to returnto the land of their childhood. They are, in fact, the onlytruly young people, of our own group, newly married andchildless, to come to Japan in ten years.

WHO IS NEEDED ?

Let's face it, Japan is not everybody's cup of tea. Japandoesn't need just anybody. It needs somebody special.Police have made a science of taking partial descriptions ofa^fson from a dozen people, giving themto a trained artistwho in turn draws a remarkable likeness of what the manprobably looks like.Putting the basic needs of Japan together, the ideal recruit for Japan looks something likethis. He or she is :

Educated, A collegiate degree is basic. A graduatedegree highly desirable. Japan is one of the literate andcultured nations of the world. Missionaries who themselvesare not both literate and cultured can expect neither respectnor hearing from the Japanese.

Young! Young enough to be adaptable and teachable.Young enough to believe that nothing is impossible. Youngenough to not yet have learned all the host of things thatcan't be done in Japan.' Young enough to break out of the

established mold, to try new approaches, to launch out intonew and lonely places. Young enough to have that boundless energy, bubbling enthusiasm, and infectious faith which

are the particular possession of the young. Young enoughto mingle with Japan's rising newgeneration. Young enoughnot to be saddled with debts, house and furniture, the desirefor comfort and permanence. Young enough to pick up andbegin life all over again without regret or a constant hankering for "home." Young enough so that there are either nochildren or they are very young. Young children grow upwith their parents in the new land. Older children areseldom satisfied. They must soon be sent off to schooleither in the cities of Japan or to the U. S. Inevitably theparent's hearts follow the children. Sometimes they followthemphysically. Their hearts are torn by diverse loyalties:to God, to their commitment to their children. It is hard tobe happy and face three ways at once.

Married. I say this especially for the young men. Two-thirds of the world's missionaries are women, many of themwives of course. The largest single group of missionariesis single women. What a shambles the missionary enterprisewould be without them. Women are capable of a sublimation,a dedication, a complete giving of themselves to the causeof Christ which makes their contribution to missions irreplaceable. There is a place for young women on the missionfield and there always will be. But their dedication must becomplete and final. There will be few opportunities formarriage on the mission field. The same does not apply toyoung men. In the rigorous Catholic system single priestsare able to carry out their tasks successfully. For thosewho have grown up in normal society, a man expects completion of his life by wife, children and a Christian home.

Positively, however, the Christian home is the basicdemonstration of what the Christian life can be like. Themissionary's wife is his first evangelistic tool (and I consider this a compliment to my own wife andto all missionarywives and mothers). But she must have a dedication equalto her husbands. It is not sufficient for her to go to thefield out of loyalty to her husband or because of her love

for him. Her love for Christ and loyalty to Him must be theequal of her husband's. Failure can only result when twogo, but only one is "called." In this case, the missionaryservice will last only until the wife can stand it no longer.The ideal male recruit has a wife, equally dedicated ashimself.

Has character. Character that has been distilled froma taste of poverty; manual labor; rigorous family training;academic discipline (he took the hard courses as well as theeasy ones); spiritual andphysicalsuffering; disappointmentsandvictories; the handlingof money, both his ownand someone elses; promises kept and appointments honored; fundamental honestybothof speech and action-the whole restingupon the foundation of God's word. This character mustcome with the recruit to the field. The mission field doesnot build character. It seeks out weakness of character theholder never knew he possessed. Crisis after crisis doesnot always make a man stronger. Eventually it may over-

-whelm and destroy him. Only character that has alreadybeen established and is undergirded with iron-will and self-discipline can stand the test.

Knowledgeable. We are assuming that the new recruitknows God's book. Nothing can make up for this lack andthere can be no greater mistake than to come to the fieldwithout this knowledge. We believe that the recruit's basicmotivation must come not from pity, idealism, humanitarian-ism, or any other human emotion, but rather because as astudent of God's Book he has been convicted that it is amissionary book. That it has a message that must be toldand that he, himself, must go tell it. In this sense hisdesire to be a missionary is itself an expression of his ownfaith in God, and in His Son who is Saviour of ALL.

But we believe he must be knowledgeable of missions.Besides being wasteful of time and energy, it is inexcusablefor a man to come to the mission field without knowing whathe is coming for, and without having a basic idea of how he

wants to go about it. An immense missionary literatureexists today. New volumes are appearing constantly andthey are more hard-headed, down-to-earth than they haveever been before. Every problem that has ever come upin the mission field has already been discussed in print.There is no reason why everyyoung missionary must learn allthe lessons over again himself. He must be knowledgeableof the literature in the field. Hemust notonly buy the booksto grace his shelves, he must read them and study them.He should have sat under a dedicated professor in collegewho exposed him to these writings as well as his own theoryand practice. He must have visited mission fields either inthe U. S. or nearby and tested what he has learned in actualpractice before committing himself to do it for a lifetime,(missionary internship). Hemusthavesoughtoutmissionaries in camps, or rallies or college campuses or in churchesor inhis home and learned by "both hearing them and askingthem questions."

As his interest and leading narrows to a particularcountry and field, then he must develop contacts with missionaries and nationalsof that particular field by both visitation to that field if at all possible, personal contact whenthese men are in the U. S., and by correspondence. Hemust be reading constantly about his chosen country - notonly its religions, but of its history and culture.

Committed. Not only to Christ but to missionary serviceas a calling, as the way he wants to spend his life forChrist's sake. It is so easy to confuse commitment withthe desire to "escape" -a change ofaddress, the longing totravel, the adventure of living in another land, the glamourof being a "missionary"; or the possibility of relieving thedistress, physical or spiritual, of the less fortunate. Thesereasons will not suffice.

Our freighter was about to sail with us to Japanfor ourthird term. A group of Christians had come to see us off.They had toured the ship, sat in the comfortable stateroom.

and joined in farewell hymns and prayers. One ministersaid to me that what he had seen could almost make him wantto be a missionary. I said little in reply. I thought of thegrueling speaking schedule of the furlough year, the thousand details of preparing for the journey, the last sight ofmy mother whom I felt I might not see again in this world,the farewell to our daughter on the morrow as we left herbehind in the U. S.; and especially of the work awaiting meon the field. So many years and dollars spent. So littleseemingly to show for it. The ten days of peace and quieton the ocean did not seem especially significant when compared to all of this.

Commitment led my wife and me back to Japan. A commitment sufficient to override the basic emotions and loyalties by which ordinary men live. A commitment to God, toChrist and to the Christian faith. I cannot say more. Butthe recruit must examine his own commitment on his kneesbefore God through the lonely watches not of one night - butof many nights.

This commitment must include a generous dose of self-renuYiciation. Men and women who serve God are much inthe public eye. They are used to having the praise of men.Public discussion of what they are doing helps them to e-valuate their own effectiveness. But this discussion, if itbe praise, may become a crutch they must have if they areto continue their work. It also may feed an ambition toacquire honor, recognition, the "chief seats in the synagogue" and increasing financial rewards for his services.

The recruit to Japan must learn to do without thesethings. Few if anywill praise his messages. TRUE great -ness can be found more onthe missionfield than anywhere Iknow, but it is not the greatness that men usually honor.The Schweitzers are rare. The missionary to Japan (andelsewhere) will mostly do his work in obscurity. Opportunities for fame will seldom come. Even martyrdom ishardly possible here. The missionaries'table will never

lack for bread but financial rewards in accordance with hisage, responsibilities and work done will be modest at most.

The qualities we have listed above for the recruit toJapan are "ideal". None of us are ideal and it may be justas well. Consider the qualities mentiond as a measuringstick. Remember that God can make up what is lacking ifyou will trust in him. Dwight L. Moody used to respond tohis critics by saying: "Remember, God can strike a mightystraight blow with a very crookedstick!"WHAT TO EXPECT

Language Study. The recruit to Japan must come withcertain expectations. For all his zeal, knowledge, education, culture and commitment, he will come to Japantongue-tied. Hemust begin his ABC's all over again. Onlythis time in Japanese. He must be a kindergarten studentrepeating again the sentences of his childhood and teachinghis tongue new sounds. It is enough to make strong menweep and women faint. I have wept myself in futility andseen women collapse in class. Two years of this are fundamental to service in Japan. Two years in which all theevangelism you came prepared to do must wait. It is a testing period of the soul.

One of Many. The recruit must come expecting littlewelcome other than missionary friends and Christian Japanese who know of his arrival. This ancient nation has seenthousands of missionaries come and thousands leave. Noone gets excited about one more or less. He will be lostamong the millions. Seldom will he recognize a face in thecrowd and seldom will he be recognized. There will not bethose special ones who hang on his words and who stand inline to compliment his sermons. The new missionary toJapan will find little to feed his ego.

Misunderstandings. The recruit must come prepared tomisunderstand and to be misunderstood. It will be a numberof years before he can tell whether "yes" really means

"yes" or is actually a polite way of saying no". After fouror five years he will learn to listen for what is meant ratherthan what is said.

Results - in-God's good time. Above all the recruit mustcome expecting results, certainly, but not so quick nor sonumerous nor so immediately rewarding as he hact'dearnedto expect from his labors in the U.S. ACatholic missionaryfriend of mine told me that while in the seminary his professor had taught him to, "Plow the rock until it yields.Missionary service in Japan is veritably plowing spiritualrocks. The new missionary that comes must expect this andnot the relatively fertile fields of the U. S. nurtured bycenturies of Christian culture, literature, laws, and customs.

Joys eternal. On the other side of the coin, the recruitcan also come expecting to see heart-farming conversions,friendships established with Japanese Christians which willbecome dearer than brother or sister; and young men andwomen who themselves become sowers ofthe Gospel seedas a result of the missionaries' seed sowing. These arejoys and satisfactions that are uniquely the missionary s,and the new missionary cancome inexpectation of partakingof these joys. ^

God is faithful. He can come expecting that God willkeep His Promises, that the Holy Spirit will comfort, thatChristwill save, and that the Bible will guide. The missionary will come to know as few other men can know, whatChrist meant when He said, "The first will be last and thelast will be first."

Recruits, I have emphasized the difficulties. Forgiveme! But it is better that way. There are mountains to beclimbed and sufficient preparation must be made to scalethem. It is foolhardy to set out improperly informed andinadequately equipped. But once these (spiritual) heightsare scaled, a feeling of exhiliration will erase all doubts.The vista of God's handiwork will make it all worth while.

Are there young men and women who have the necessaryqualifications who will come to Japan with the expectationsmentioned? We believe there are many such in our collegestoday. We believe that theyare goingtoother mission fieldsrather than to Japan because they have not been aware ofJapan's great need, have not been challenged, have not beencalled, have not been recruited. If such there be who

have read this article this far, consider yourself "invited "humanly speaking. The remainder of the matter is betweenyou and God.

Japan faces a crisis in missionary leadership in theimmediate future. Japan needs new missionaries as pioneers, church-planters, seminary teachers, radio broadcasters, and as fellow-servants with Japanese Christianleaders already in service.

Active recruitment is needed. Though this article maygive an otherwise impression, this recruitment must bebased fundamentally on our Lord's instruction: "Pray yetherefore the Lord of the harvest, that he send forth laborers into His harvest."

I will be praying. What about you? If you will praysincerely and faithfully, it could be that you will rise upand answer the prayer yourself - and come to Japan. Thatwould be a result devoutly to be praised.
