Some years ago, the Karahsidane Mission partnered with CLC and took on a CLC shop in Japan. Maintaining a Christian bookstore hasn’t been easy. As the number of bookshops in Japan rapidly decreases, and people read less, we face many challenges. However, our existence continues to hold great importance and meaning.
To make an impact beyond the shop, we have placed Bibles and used books in our shopfront for passersby to take home freely. Our Triangle Café, adjacent to the bookshop, helps introduce our shop to the public. We are serving the community not only with bread but with the Bread of Life. Despite the limited number of churches in the Kyoto prefecture, we have made it a priority to reach out and serve our Christian brothers and sisters. Visiting churches is an integral part of our mission. We are filled with gratitude for God’s faithfulness and for prayer and support.
