Where our help comes from

We are not being given a salary by our mission sending organization nor are we fully funded by our sending church. There are all different kinds of ways that missionaries get to the mission field. The way God has called us to serve is by raising our own funds (or salary).

There are many advantages to this way of mission funding.

  • It frees us up to do exactly what God is calling us to do. We can prayerfully follow the unique vision he has given us for planting Crisis Pregnancy Centers in Japan. We will not be employees with a standard job description.
  • As independent missionaries we are not tied to denominationalism. We will be vision casting among many different churches within Japan and hope to make this a united cause.
  • Our accountability responsibility is to our partners in ministry. Our quarterly newsletters, monthly email updates (coming soon), and one on one visits with our partners allow us to keep everyone up to date with ministry happenings as well as how the provided financials are being spent.
  • Our mission sending organization provides prayer, support, and insight, as well as financial accountablility. They do not provide a job description. They are a part of our support team.
We truly are grateful for those who have already agreed to come on board with Share-Affirm Ministries. As we have shared with many of our partners, it is clear that God has open the doors for this ministry in Japan. As we work on building our language abilities we will also be building relationships with Japanese Christians and other missionaries in Japan and sharing the vision for pro-life work. This is essential ground level work. You can not begin to build a building until the foundation is first poured.
