Nagoya, Japan
The Nagoya team was started in 1987 when the Japan Presbyterian Church helped lead the Nagoya team to its present location in an urban area on the east side of Nagoya. Two church plants were started within a few years under the leadership of MTW missionary, Bruce Young. In 1995, MTW missionary Wayne Newsome became the team leader, and since that time two more church plants and an international school have been started.

Cultural Context
With around four million people, Nagoya ranks as the fourth largest city in Japan. Nagoya was destroyed by the bombing of World War II, and was rebuilt as a modern, well-planned city. Compared to the other metro areas of Japan, you’ll notice an abundance of trees, flowers, gardens and parks. Nagoya is known today as the “Detroit” of Japan, as it is home of the Toyota. | We are excited about your interest in a long-term commitment to missions service.
MTW uses a team-based approach to missions. For that reason, we actively seek missionaries from a variety of backgrounds—ordained or unordained, singles and families, men and women—and with many different ministry skills and interests.
Though MTW's first priority is church planting, we also have missionaries working in a variety of other ministries such as teaching, medicine, community development, and administration.
We currently have one- and two-year and long-term ministry opportunities in over 50 different countries around the world. You are needed on the mission field!
