Feature Article

Ninety-six Churches...in Fifty Years

An article in the current Japan Harvest (Summer 2008) tells of the church planting ministry and network led by Ralph and Stella Cox over 50 years in Shikoku. Ralph went to be with the Lord on May 27 of this year.

Periodically Ralph published detailed church planting plans, along with honest assessments of actual results, in the Japan Harvest.

The Prayer Life of Missionary James Fraser

(A Role Model for Us in Japan)

James Fraser was a pioneer missionary to China in the early 1900's. He went as a single young person from Britain and spent his life among the Lisu people reaching them for Christ. The story of his life and work is recorded in Mountain Rain, a biography written by his daughter, and published by OMF in 1982.

How is it that people are still talking about this man a hundred years later? I believe his story is still drawing interest because he lived a lifestyle of sacrifice and commitment to the Lord and to the Lisu people he felt called by God to serve.
