Tokyo Deaflympics 2025 offers rare opportunity to reach one of the world’s least-reached people groups

Global Society & Culture Church & Missions

The 2025 Deaflympics in Tokyo has become an unprecedented platform for global evangelism, giving missionaries rare access to one of the world’s largest and least-reached communities. As thousands of athletes and spectators from around the world gather for the international sporting event, mission workers say the moment represents a historic opportunity to share the gospel with D/deaf people who are seldom concentrated in one place.

    Parents can too easily experience continual frustration and marital conflict because of their children’s lack of obedience. Homes lack joy. Instead, they are filled with angry voices and aggravated cries, as parents try their best to do a job they have no training for and few (if any) healthy role models.

  • Trusting in God's presence in the midst of strangers

    Asia Church & Missions

    When God calls us out from our homes, we go as strangers to lands that are strange to us. Yet, God goes ahead of us and stays with us, challenging us to always trust in him.

  • We bring our ethnic uniqueness with us when we become new creatures in Christ

    Asia Church & Missions Society & Culture

    As new Christians (especially if you're non-Western) we are too often taught that our ethnic identity should be ignored or even suppressed in favor of a spiritual identity. Our teachers ignore the fact that Evangelical Christianity is heavily interpreted through a Western lens. Non-Westerners will flourish in Christ if they are encouraged to embrace the redeemed benefits of their unique ethnicity, because that is part of them being a gift from God as a blessing to the Church and the world.
