Church Planting in the Tsugaru

In order to further the church's impact on the local community, and to help the people of the Tsugaru Peninsula come into a life-transforming encounter with Jesus Christ, Tsugaru Gospel Church is considering the following ministries:
### Bus ministry
The infrastructure of the Tsugaru Peninsula does not permit many of its inhabitants to easily attend a church in one of the centers. Because they will usually not make the first move to attend an existing chapel, and because we do not have the resources to start a chapel in every village, we are praying about ways to go to them. We are currently looking for a bus to purchase, which we will use for itinerate evangelistic circuits, similar to the days of early circuit riding preacher. Among other events, we hope to have music, preaching and puppet shows.
### Chapel planting ministry
Tsugaru Church is a multi-congregation church. In other words, Tsugaru Church is one church with more than one congregation(chapel). As God leads and works in His mercy, Tsugaru Church is praying toward opening ministry that would lead to five new Chapels by the end of 2010. Please contact us if you are interested in assisting with going, sending or facilitating.
