Summer Impact Japan – Tokyo (Summer 2025)

Trip Details

We have designed the content of this overseas summer program around one theme: Followers of Jesus living and discipling among the lost. During this summer, you will be stretched by extensive Bible study with the short-term team and local staff, Biblical-themed discussion nights with students, and living among and impacting Japanese.

You will serve alongside the collegiate team in Tokyo, the heart of Japan. In the BEST Club (our version of The Navigators in Japan), you will become a part of our student community. BEST stands for Bible, English, Sports, Travel, and in Tokyo, discussing the Bible and practicing spoken English are the most popular aspects of our club. Through this summer mission trip, you will hang out and make friends with students, learning just as much about God’s love from them as they will learn from you.

The team in Tokyo has many years of experience working with cross-cultural laborers and is excited to advance God’s kingdom together. Joining us would give you many opportunities to pray and learn alongside the team here. This summer will consist of experiences that challenge your worldview, how you view yourself, and God’s mission to the world. The team here is at the forefront of mission work in Tokyo’s Universities to make God known among the Japanese

In Japan, less than 1% believe in Jesus Christ. Most people have never had the opportunity to read the Bible or meet a Christian. This is hard work and not for those who want an easy summer. But those who join us will get to have conversations that point towards Jesus with many who don’t know Him, have life-changing experiences, and a heart more aligned with God’s gospel to the nations. Come alongside us this summer and join in on what God has for you and for the world.

A normal week will include:

• Bible study
• Hours engaging with Japanese non-believing students
• Time spent with local staff learning and planning
• XTAWG (Extended Time alone with God)
• Team building time
