The Reformed Church in Japan (RCJ) is a vibrant church, currently in its 79th year of existence (in 2025). The RCJ has approximately 10,000 members in 140 congregations nationwide. However, about 40 of these congregations are without a full-time minister. The need is undeniable. Over the past 50 years, a very close partnership and mission cooperation have developed between the RCJ and the South African Dutch Reformed Church (NG Church) family through Mission Japan. This relationship continues to deepen, with mutual visits by church leaders, members, volunteers, and student exchange programs, as well as some diagonal projects. We experience this partnership as enriching because it is built on deep and long-term mutual trust. The RCJ also actively participates in global witness work, in partnership with churches in the Netherlands, Myanmar, South Korea, and America, and with its own RCJ missionaries in Gambia, Cambodia, and Hungary.
