181: CrossTalk- The Salvation Army in Japan

In this episode of CrossTalk at the Kroc, Jonathan Raymer sits down with Colonels Steve and Wendy Morris, Territorial Leaders of the Salvation Army in Japan, for a fascinating and deeply moving conversation about faith, culture, and mission in the Land of the Rising Sun. From navigating a society shaped by Buddhism and Shintoism to embracing slow, relationship-centered evangelism, the Morris's share what it means to live incarnationally and lead with patience, humility, and vision. Listeners get an inside look at the Army’s 130-year legacy in Japan, the transition of historic hospitals, the revitalization of worship and brass band ministry, and the quiet but powerful ways God is at work—from Zoom congregations to young adults sensing a call to ministry. Honest, global, and hope-filled, this episode is a reminder that the Gospel moves at God’s pace—and that deep faith often grows slowly but lasts.https://linktr.ee/crosstalkatthekroc
