Reaching the 99% for the Gospel
The Mission
The day that I left Japan to come to America for the Holidays, someone stepped in front of a moving train. Since I’ve lived in Japan, this has happened three times and is altogether too common a problem. In a land where your whole purpose is your job, when you fail, there is no redemption. In a nation, whose work ethic is unlike anything else. The one thing that they lack is love from their Savior and from the Creator. I’ve met people that have never been told that they were loved or valued. There is hopelessness like none other as their suicide rate is higher than their homicide rate.
The Vision
If we desire Jesus to come back then we must tell everyone about the love of Jesus Christ and the gift of eternal life that they can receive. The Japanese are craving deep meaning that can only be fulfilled by our Savior.
Japan is the 2nd most unreached people group with a population of 125 Million people and only 1% of them are Christian. Most Japanese have never ever been told the gospel of Jesus Christ.
How then shall they call on Him in whom they have not believed? And how shall they believe in Him of whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear without a preacher? And how shall they preach unless they are sent?
The Objective
Personal evangelism, The Holy Spirit, Prayer and the Church is the key to saving the Japanese people. God has placed the Japanese upon my heart for more than 10 years and in July of 2024, I sold everything and moved to Japan to study the language, to help a local church in Osaka, and to disciple young Japanese Christians.
John 13:35 says that the world will know us by our love. Time and time again I ask Japanese Christians why they accepted Jesus into their hearts and every time they say, that they felt the love of God by the people in the Church. This convicted them and they desired to know the love of God.

The Request
By far the most important thing that is needed while I am here is prayer.
Pray for the people of Japan,
Pray for the Gospel to be spread here
Pray for quick language learing
I am looking for partners to support me monthly through prayer and donation as I continue to spread the word of Christ. If this has resonated with you I urge you to pray for the most unreached first world nation on the planet and ask God how to best help.I have set up an account with a Missions organization that I really respect and admire,

About Me
こんにちは！
My name is Caleb Warwick and I’ve been a follower of Christ since my youth. From Oct 2020-July 2024 I lead Sunday Nights ministry at Refuge Calvary Chapel Huntington Beach. I felt the calling to go to Japan and preach the gospel in the Fall of 2022. It’s a scary decision leaving everything you know but “But how can people call on Him on whom they have not believed? How can they believe on Him, if they have not heard of him? How can they hear without a preacher?”
Follow me as I follow Christ. I’ll talk to you soon!
