KGK University Student Ministry in Japan
KGK (Kirisuto-sha Gakusei Kai) is a major, Japan-wide university student ministry. It is staffed and run by Japanese nationals.
The KGK ministry is independent of OMF, but OMF has been working with KGK since the 1960’s and in the past has had workers directly involved in KGK’s ministry activities (and hopes to again in the future).
This OMF project is to facilitate the transfer of support gifts and mobilise other support for KGK’s work in Japan.
KGK works in universities throughout Japan to reach Japanese students with the gospel. Many current leaders in the Japanese church were involved with KGK in the past.
Their (Japanese) website is here: http://www.kgkjapan.net/xoops/
KGK’s focus is to develop groups of students who meet to share their faith and study the Bible. KGK workers do not lead these groups, but act as facilitators and trainers. In addition to its ongoing work, KGK also organises major events such as their annual summer and ski camps.
