This is a VBS that the Japan team put on. Notice anything missing?! Despite having put out over 2000 invitations, there was not a single child who attended. Pictured is a family from the church and their two teenage sons. Tina Lee, of the Japan SMP team, said “It was a very discouraging day for all of us, but God gave us a taste of what it feels like to be a Christian in Japan.” In Japan, where less than one percent of the population claims Christianity, many view Christianity as just another “cult”, and discouraging reactions like this are commonplace.
Another VBS had more encouraging results, as about 65 children attended and enjoyed activities like a picnic and an obstacle course.
