MEET THE PEOPLE WE SERVE IN JAPAN

While fostering a knowledge and an interest in Japan’s religious traditions, Missionhurst aims to journey with young people in school and youth movements. Missionhurst hopes to discover with them their possibilities and to provide them with an understanding of Missionhurst’s vision as a source of existential answers.

LEARN ABOUT OUR MISSION IN JAPAN


Missionhurst missionary Fr. Honore Kabundi found a rampant issue of drug use, depression, materialism and confusion regarding life’s moral issues among young people in Japan. Kabundi provides an avenue for young people to ask critical questions and gives them the opportunity to connect and give back to their community. One such social involvement included the youth ministry visiting a home for the elderly, allowing them to connect with their traditions and mutually share experiences.



READ STORIES FROM THE MISSION FIELD

Kabundi recounts a personal experience with the devastating effects of the horrific “Tohoku Earthquake” of March 11, 2011. This massive earthquake killed upwards of 20,000 people and left countless more homeless. Matsubara Church, Kabundi’s home church, sent money, clothes, food and other immediate emergency relief to the most affected areas. Despite the need for material assistance, Kabundi found many people simply needed an outlet to express their fears and sorrows. Kabundi considers Missionhurst’s “spiritual accompaniment” as perhaps the “most valuable humanitarian effort.”
