Chad Farmer

Pastor at Mustard Seed Christian Church

In September of 2014 my family and I moved from Texas in order to honor the call of the Lord on our lives to reach out to one of the largest unreached people groups in the world: Japan. In the history of the Church since the book of Acts Japan has never seen more than a 1.5% Christian population. The lack of gospel influence for thousands of years has resulted in a nation that suffers the effects of sin—namely: broken families, teenage prostitution (enjo kosai), and a suicide rate that has exceed 30,000 annually for over a decade. I am a pastor at Mustard Seed Christian Church in Nagoya, Japan. where the mission of the church is to cultivate growing Christ-centered disciples who relentlessly engage the world for God’s glory. Our hope is to make disciples of Christ who make disciples. To plant churches that plant more churches. Nagoya is a city of over 8 million people in Japan and about the size of Chicago. Please pray that the Lord would raise up disciples in our city who engage Japan for God's glory!
