Japan: Missionary leaders gather for evangelism meeting
Pentecostal and other Christian leaders from around the world are due to hold a four-day global mission consultation in Tokyo in May 2010 to mark the centenary of a landmark World Missionary Conference that took place in Edinburgh, Scotland.
"This is a preparation for a great revival," said the Rev Minoru Okuyama, a Japanese Pentecostal mission expert, who chairs the event's Japan host committee, in a statement on the meeting's Japanese-language website. "The great revival will surely come to all the Japanese, and I believe that the churches in Japan will surely be able to contribute to the achievement of the world mission."
The 11-14 May consultation in Tokyo will mark Christian missionary activity in the 100 years since the 1910 Edinburgh gathering, and set priorities for the future.
