Be a Part of Children’s Ministry in Japan

A So-ne Christ’s Church, a small church in Sone, Osaka would like a young adult with skills in working with children, nursery through teens for an extended period of volunteer service of one to three months, anytime of the year.  This would be an ideal opportunity for a seminary student or person in children’s ministry.  Special Request: Someone who can speak some Japanese or is willing to learn Japanese while there as part of the ministry of “being.”

Description of Duties: teaching simple words and sentences for nursery and Kindergarteners;  teaching simple cooking, or making something to eat (eg: rice crispy treats!).  Gathering up children in the park and playing.  Conduct worship with nursery school children; fellowship and interact with older children and teens as a Christian role model; help with church school; be ready to challenge young people from the word of God; give one’s testimony in church. Some deep cleaning (scrubbing & waxing) the floor of the sanctuary and other cleaning tasks will be included.

The pastor wrote:  “We really value our young people and want them to be fired up by the Spirit through spending time with a loving, praying volunteer who cares for their souls.”
