Belong, Experience, Believe: Pentecostal Mission Strategies for Japan (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780956594372)

Why don't Japanese people become Christians? Miyake brings a pastor's heart and a researcher's mind to a question that has been asked many times in Christian mission. After reviewing Japanese social and religious life and evaluating the history of mission strategies so far, he highlights two key ways that Japanese people relate to religion: first, they look for a sense of belonging to a community, and second they receive religious truth through first-hand experience rather than through abstract doctrine. From this basis he develops a new strategy for churches to reach out into Japanese community.
