Multiplying Churches in Japanese Soil - Mehn Wm John

Résumé :
Hope and Strategy for Multiplying Churches in Japan's Unreached Fields Since the beginning of missionary efforts in Japan in the sixteenth century, the Japanese church has experienced periods of quiet flourishing and periods of intense persecution.
