The delightful cuisine, magnificent vistas of Mount Fuji, and most importantly the spiritual ministry of this Centre have made it a popular destination for church retreats, summer camps, mission groups, and youth ministries.Torchbearers Japan has been serving Churches and Christians from around the Tokyo area and around the world for over 35 years. The Spring term is an 8 week English speaking Bible school program which allows students to study God’s Word and live in community in a unique Japanese setting. Please partner with us to help keep the Frentz family serving in Japan and help prevent the Torchbearers Yamanakako Christian ministry Center from permanently shutting down!

Urgent NeedsOur programs came to an abrupt halt in Spring 2020 when COVID19 hit the globe and travel restrictions prevented guests from visiting the Center. Now, as the pandemic persists gathering in groups is still not possible and it is looking like we may not have guests for the foreseeable future.Running an empty Center has left us in a very difficult financial situation. Our future is unknown, and our Board has been forced to consider a potential ministry shutdown. A ministry shutdown scenario would most likely end in a permanent shutdown.
Our MinistryTorchbearers Yamanakako (Capernwray Japan) thrives on ministering to people. Camps, Conferences, Bible School, Retreats; we love to proclaim Jesus Christ as Life in any way that we can! We exist to:
Encourage and serve the Japanese Church.
Equip Believers so that they thrive and mature.
Express the Life and Love of Jesus to Japanese who do not know Him yet.
Educate the Global Christian Community about the Spiritual needs of the Japanese people, enabling ministry to these dearly loved and deeply Spiritually needy people
With your support we can avoid permanent shut down and stay open until we can serve guests once again.
Thank You For Your Prayers & SupportPlease pray for discernment and peace as we navigate a very uncertain future. Please help us reach our goal of $54,000 so we can continue to minister through the pandemic and avoid permanent closure.Thank you so much for your thoughts, prayers and support.With Christ’s joy as our strength,
Steve & Jennifer Frentz on behalf of Torchbearers YamanakakoPC9icj4=Learn More About Our MinistryPC9icj48L2JyPg==
