Hello from the Choi Family! We are missionaries in a small city outside of Osaka, Japan.  We are currently teaching at an International School here in Ikeda.  Most of our students come to the school not knowing anything about Jesus.  We love and encourage the students while teaching them Bible and English classes.  Our girls are also able to love on the students while they attend class alongside them.  We are building relationships with many others in our community as well.  Our vision is to bring hope and joy to the people of Japan through sharing the love of Jesus.  Joe has also begun helping Japanese musicians record their worship songs to be available as a resource to the people of Japan.  This is part of another vision called “Release The Nations.” For more info www.choifamilyinjapan.com

“istanbulprojesi” is a church plant in the city center of İstanbul for the people who live and work there but have nothing to do with Christianity yet. Our vision is to reach the students, academics, young professionals, artists and musicians who live in the tension of the postmodern, secular, individualistic western life and the remnants of eastern, traditional, cultural Islam. By planting a gospel-centered, grace-driven, culture-loving, relevant church we want to lay the foundation of a new church-planting movement that will reach and impact İstanbul with its roughly 22 million inhabitants, and through it the world.
